What future headcanons do you have for gravity falls characters from the Cipher wheel?

(Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Ford, Soos, Wendy, Pacifica, Mcgucket)

Huh, didn’t expect this kind of thing (thought I’d get TOH post-series headcanons before GF ones, lol) but here’s a few quick ones I guess.

Dipper: Following in his Grunkle Ford’s footsteps he became a researcher in the paranormal and supernatural. Getting a degree in several fields such as zoology, mythology, literature, religion, archaeology and occultism just to name a few. He wrote several boos on his findings along with having a semi-popular YouTube ghost hunting/debunking channel. He and Mabel still have adventures with each other and she helped Dipper graduate early and get accepted into the dream college that Ford wanted to go to but couldn’t. He would often write books under the pseudonym of “Dr P”

Mabel: Getting a degree in art she is more of a freelancer and does odd jobs wherever she can. Before going to college she did a trip around the country to figure out what she wants to do in the future. Her unique and interesting sweater designs got the attention of fans when she’d appear on Dipper’s ghost hunting webshow and she opened an online store selling her sweaters and personalized patterns. She came out as pansexual to the surprise of no one. She eventually grew to be the taller twin after Dipper had a growth spurt, he suspected she used the crystal lights but she swears she didn’t.

Grunkle Stan: Traveling with Ford and helping him catch up on things that he missed while gone (well, Stan’s view on things. Ford would look it up himself later and knows that Stan left out a few details). He comes back to the Mystery Shack in the summer and helps Soos run it, take care of his (Soos) kid and hang out with Dipper & Mabel whenever they visit. He also brings souvenirs from his adventures with Ford to make as new displays in the Shack.

Grunkle Ford: Traveling with Stan and uncovering more mysteries around the globe about various weirdness spikes. He often helps Dipper with his research and comes on as an expert on Dipper’s web show. He brings back some interesting things from his adventures back to the shack and treats the store more of a museum of weirdness than a tourist trap. He spends more time with Mabel who has knitted him several turtle neck sweaters and she would often be along for the ride when Ford and Stan go somewhere new (Dipper can’t always go due to school but he is okay with Mabel going)

Soos: Becoming the new Mr Mystery he ran the Mystery Shack better than ever and he not only kept the fake stuff but also expanded into a museum of weirdness where both Ford and the magical creatures can submit things to display. He and Melody eventually got married and had one or two kids whom he swore to be the best father in the world for them (he was). He also likes to go around town and help with random handyman jobs during the off-season for the shack and continues the legend of the ronin handyman

Wendy: Wendy worked for her dad at his lumberjack job in order to pay for college out-of-state. While there she discovered and came out as bisexual, having better luck in the dating/romantic game with women then she did with men. She and Dipper remained the best of friends and she even helps him with his relationship issues. She takes some freelance writing jobs to help pay the bills but also helps with Dipper’s web show and has gained a number of fans when she’d appear (mostly woods based videos where she acts as security for Dipper and his crew).

Pacifica: Learning the value of a dollar and taking several jobs to help afford her own place, education and other expenses humbled this former rich kid to the point that she cringes whenever she thinks of how she used to act. She started several web-businesses and has found a bunch of success, one of which is in helping Mabel sell her sweaters online. She and Dipper tried dating briefly but they found that they were better friends, especially since Dipper is usually engrossed in para/supernatural things, however Paz has an on again-off again relationship with Mabel which she (Paz) wants to solidify but respects Mabel’s free spirit and is willing to wait for them both to be on the same page. She doesn’t talk to her parents much and has pretty much cut them out of her life, especially after she caught them pretty much stealing from her and use the “we’re your parents, your money is our money” excuse.

McGucket: With both a newfound wealth and a somewhat restored sanity, Fiddleford started up a robotics company and is on the cutting edge of advanced robotics and AI. There’s still a few “evil” program glitches but it’s easily dealt with in the development phase. He and his son rekindled their relationship and became closer, he’s easily the “crazy grandpa” to his grandkids.

That was just a few off the top of my head since it’s been a while since I’ve rewatched gravity falls

➻ content: just the kingscholar family shipping y/n and their second prince

➻ warnings: to the max diabetes²

➻ comments: i've marked my word. here it is. i'm gonna make this pancake extra fluffy.

wow this is 2279 words...

The Afterglow Savanna is known to hold the royal family of the Kingscholars along with having a warm to hot tropical climate. A homeland that has women that are highly respected by men. A place where strength, agility, intelligence, and power are looked up to. 

A palace where crackheads are concerningly suited on the throne.

“Papa!” a little cub of five-years-old came dashing over to the throne room followed by his babysitter. “Papa!” he called again, clinging unto the taller man’s legs who was currently conversing with a servant. Farena looked down at his little replica and chuckled. He scooped up the little boy. “What is it, son?” he grinned letting the servant excuse himself. 

Cheka giggled, wrapping his little arm around his father’s neck before stretching his other arm out to the entrance of the throne room, indicating he wanted to bring him somewhere. With a gleeful proclamation, he bounced, “They’re outside! Uncle Leona went out of his room again! And–”

“He is?!” boomed the king, the regality in his persona now dispersed at the sound of his brother. The cub clapped his hands, laughing loudly as his father carried him outside to peek at the balcony. The royal servants looked at each other in surprise and confusion. It wasn’t a surprise that the king is known to be outgoing and loud, however, for what reason?

Farena peered over at the balcony from the highest area of the palace. His eyes glancing down at the vast savannah below him while Cheka wiggled, being placed down on the balcony railing while being held by the king. “Where are they?” he mumbled. Was he perhaps, hiding?

“There! There they are! Papa, he’s holding her hand!” Cheka pointed out with a little bounce.

“No way. Cheka call your mother.”

“No! I want to see Uncle Leona!”

The king grumbled with a pout. His little replica simply stuck his tongue out before glancing back at where he spotted his uncle. They were quite far from the palace, not far enough to be unseen. It was as clear as day to see that he accompanied a smaller woman beside him. Her attire is similar to those of the royal guards. Was it a rarity to see even Leona wearing something befitting for his title as a prince, maybe? Probably forced to do so but that doesn’t matter. Farena and Cheka are both enjoying watching the little date go on.

“Papa, will I have a little cousin?” pouted Cheka as he fiddled with his little tail. Farena arched his eyebrow, glancing at his son. “What’s with the sudden question?”

With a bigger pout, he looked at his father. “I want a playmate!” he innocently said. His father chuckled, “Why don’t you ask your uncle? He’s the only one who can give you a cousin.”

“But he hasn’t kissed auntie y/n yet! He said he doesn’t want to.” He huffed.

“Be patient, Cheka. Your uncle needs more time. And besides, you’ll have one soon,” Farena booped his son’s nose making the younger lion sigh. “Fine…” he whined.

Down below at the grounds of the savannah, the stalked second prince leaned against the tree while he looked up at the woman climbing with half-lidded eyes. Keeping his green eyes on a lookout for any loose branch that could easily break under her weight. “I don’t get what’s your objective,” he called, seeing as she easily chopped off the stem of an apricot. 

“You could fall.”

“Awww,” you cooed, holding on a branch as you leaned down, “Is the prince looking out for me?” you teased as you bit off the apricot. Leona rolled his eyes, “It’s a loss for the royal guards if anything happened to you. You’re one of the careless batches,” he commented, half teasing as he smirked. You continued to bite from the apricot, sitting on a sturdy batch that’s just above Leona. 

“Hey, I’m perfectly capable of beating you up anytime I want to.”

“Wanna bet?” he challenged as he tilted his head up. His eyes held an attractive lazy look, half-lidded, and lips pressed in a thin line. Kissable.

“Nah,” you refused with a mouth full of apricot. “I prefer to finish my apricot and just lay on this branch while I watch you fall asleep and then leave you.” You threw the fruit’s seed and placed your elbows on your thighs, your face being cupped by your hands as you smiled down at the prince. His eyes were already closed, his tail was gently swishing along with his ears twitching. Nonetheless, the more you stared, the more you were falling for this man. 

“Coward. You wouldn’t want to admit I can easily defeat you with how small you are.” His voice cut off your daydreaming state. Unbeknownst to him, in just a second, his body was now slammed to the ground – with a loud grunt at that – with you on top. Easily pinning him down with both your arms on the sides of his head and your knees at the sides of his waist. “Is that a challenge, Your Highness?” you smirked.

Leona arched an eyebrow, lips staying neutral as he just stared at you. Ah, gorgeous. The confidence and cheekiness in your eyes were attractive. A true guard, courageous and willing to face any challenges. Even going as far as challenging the prince himself. If that wasn’t a turn on, what else. Love is stupid. 

“Maybe.” He lazily placed his arms under his head. “It’s warm. Makes me want to sleep.”

“Leona, you’re no fun.” 

“I can see what’s happening,” Farena sighed as he leaned on his cheek. Cheka glanced over at his papa, “What?”

“And they don’t have a clue.”

“Who?”

Farena pointed at the two lions at the distance who are now walking over to a small lake. The other lazily walking behind the female who was already feet away from him. “They’ll fall in love and here’s the bottom like – our trio’s down to two.” He brought up to fingers while Cheka, who had no idea what his father was talking about, simply let out an ‘oh’.

“Ze sweet caress of twilight.” Cheka giggled at his father’s ridiculousness, “There’s magic everywhere. And will all this romantic atmosphere…” Farena sighed but smiled. “Cheka, my boy, you’ll be having a cousin earlier than I expected. But, don’t tell your uncle I told you.” He winked as Cheka cheered.

Disaster’s in the air.

The waters are still and cool. The sun was dipping and the birds soared the sky as if they’re painting it with an array of warm colours. The deck creaked with every step you took. You lowered yourself, kneeling on the side to scoop up some water to drink. Leona was beside you glancing at both your reflections before his eyes wandered over at yours. Contemplated, was his emotions getting the better of him. No other woman could make him feel...important. Not his brother, not the school, not Cheka, it was a mere royal guard. Someone important to his life in the purpose of protection. You were important to him that way, or was it?  

Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings The world, for once, in perfect harmony With all its living things

You opened your eyes, calmly sipping the water in your hands. Eyes meeting green ones from the reflection. You smirked, “Hey, Leona,” you called and glanced up. “Since when was the last time you bathe?” you questioned with a little tilt of your head. He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. “Last ni– oi!” he growled upon feeling the water dripped down his face after you threw the water on him. 

Laughing, that’s what echoed throughout the lake. No fear of getting in trouble. No harm is done. Just a wet prince. “Again?! Didn’t hear you!” You jumped. Water splashing across the deck and drenching Leona more. His white shirt now sticking on his skin as you swim up to greet him. “You’re going to do my laundry,” he tsked and glared at your grinning form. 

“And what are you doing just standing at the shallow part of the lake?” He crossed his arms, an arch of an eyebrow mocking you as you looked down at yourself. The water reached your chest and your feet were planted firmly on the soil below. “Can’t reach?” he mocked leaning over you from the deck. You stuck your tongue out and placed your hand to your hips. “So? I can swim.”

“Prove it.”

“Not until you jump in first.”

“I’m perfectly fine staying up here where it’s dry.”

“Maybe it’s you who couldn’t swim,” you taunted and leaned your head on the deck. 

As if on cue, your eyes immediately closed. Feeling the water splash your face when Leona jumped in. Hah, who knew a little taunt could make the lazy prince prove to you who’s the dominant one in this friendship. He can prove himself when he tries. Sure, you’re a strong-willed woman, but you sure do love to play with his strings. He didn’t come back up from the water. 

You knew what was coming.

“Leona–!” 

So many things to tell her But how to make her see The truth about my past? Impossible She’d turn away from me 

Descending underwater and gripping on his arms, you forced yourself to float atop. More training on readying your breathing, yes? You pushed your head up the water and inhaled deeply. “You ass…” you coughed and kept a tight grip on his arm. He ascended from the water and chuckled. “Congrats, you can swim this far.” You looked over your shoulder with wide eyes. You were far from the deck. Made you wonder how fast could Leona swim. “P-Put me back!” you screamed and instinctively wrapped your arms around his neck.

The prince merely laughed at you. A melodious tune anyone would rarely hear coming from him. Only pops out when he’s mocking you. Strong and courageous? You look like a small kitten clinging on him like that. An urge to protect you despite it being your job to protect him. “Leona!” you yelled, “Bring me back it’s deep!” you panicked.

“I’m not going to let you go, dumbass.” His grip around your waist tightened. Just trust him. That’s all he ever wanted. Something he couldn’t give easily and yet he wanted it to be earned. 

You looked at him and back at the water. He can swim. It was effortless. Your little teasing has led you screaming in fear. Leona is someone unpredictable. Yet the grip on your waist had made you relax a little as your ears flattened against your head. “What will I do to you if you drop me?” 

“Stab me if you want, I don’t care. I stay with my word.” He shrugged. You looked at him in surprise. Again, an unpredictable man. Did he really think you’re capable of hurting him? Was he joking? Leona, stop staring.

He’s holding back, he’s hiding But what, I can’t decide Why won’t he be the king I know he is The king I see inside?

“You’re making me suspicious.” You narrowed your eyes at him. “Uh-huh?”

“I’ll stab you if you don’t tell me.”

“You’re confusing me more than I confuse you and I hate it.” He grumbled.

“Tell me.”

“Tell you what?” You could tell, he was getting annoyed the more you spoke. Who cares? If taunting him was the only way to get him to speak, you would. You knew he wouldn’t hurt you.

“Whatever you’re hiding.”

“That I love you?”

Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings The world, for once, in perfect harmony With all its living things

So blunt, so endearing. His gaze, even, remained neutral with just an eyebrow arched as he just stared at you. Your breaths syncing as you just looked at each other’s eyes. He hated it. He hated your silence. His pride, wrecked, just like that. Your eyes say, what he assumed to be, doubt and surprise. “Let’s go back. I’m tired.”

“You could’ve just told me, you asshat.” you laughed as you adjusted yourself, wrapping your legs around his waist. “And let me speak next time. I hate it when you doubt yourself,” you said and cupped his face. He narrowed his eyes at you before rolling them, “I wasn’t.”

“Haha… very funny, Your Highness.” 

With that, you pressed your lips on his. Requited love sending sparks upon both your lips. A tightened hold on both bodies as the sun shone a silhouette on your form. Tails flicking across the water, the kiss deepening and leaving you breathless. So soft, addicting, just like you said, kissable. A desire to reconnect and devour his hidden affection. That is His Highness, Leona Kingscholar. Not a king, just a prince. No title to behold or rank the amount of love you held for him.

Can you feel the love tonight? You needn’t look too far Stealing through the night’s uncertainties Love is where they are

“And if he falls in love tonight…” sniffled Farena while Cheka patted his tears away. “It can be assumed.” He smiled at his son who pouted. “His carefree days with us are history.”

“What’s carefree?”

“In short: Our pal is doomed!” hollered the king. Cheka looked over his shoulder before back at his father. He doesn’t know what’s going on with his papa or whatever is still coming out of his mouth. All he knows is that he saw the both of you kiss and now he cheered.

“Papa! Mama! I’m gonna have a playmate soon!!!”

Deadpool NSFW ABC

Warning: Well, it’s a nsfw abc, so..... what do you expect? Smut!

Word count: 1786

AN - So someone requested it a while ago, I think it was an anon. Thank you for the request and I hope you enjoy it!

AN2 - I love Wade

AN3 - Feedback appreciated

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex) - Wade is always very sweet when it comes to aftercare and he will make sure more than once that you are fine. He would disappear into the bathroom for a moment, returning with a wet cloth a short time later to clean you up. While he cleans up the mess between your legs, he would kiss the bruises created by his grip on your thighs. Only when he is sure that you are okay, he allows himself to lie down next to you and pull you as close to his body as possible.

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s) - We all know that Wade is very unsure about his appearance, but if he had to decide, he would choose his hands. He loves the sweet melodies that fill the room while he has two or more fingers in your pussy, fucking you at a steady pace. Or how your eyes roll back into your head when he puts his hand around your throat. And god, he loved leaving his handprints on your ass.

As we’re talking about your ass right now, that’s the part of your body that Wade likes the most. Of course, he loves everything about you, but your ass is special for him. So special that he always has his hands on your butt and he did not care if other people could see it or not. Sometimes, he even used your butt as a pillow.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person) - Wade is dirty. At the beginning of your relationship, he always came somewhere on your body. One of his favorites was your face. He loved to see your face painted white and how it sometimes dripped from your chin to your chest. There was something wonderfully dirty about it. After the relationship has become more serious (and you allowed it) he always came inside of you. After pulling out, he watched as his cum dripped out of your hole and fucked it back into your body with his fingers.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs) - It's not really a secret, but Wade likes it if you take control every now and then. For example, if you handcuff him to the bed and just take what you want.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?) - Wade knows exactly what he's doing. Before he looked like an (I quote) avocado, he had a pretty busy sex life. However, when he met you, that stopped, and he was just focused on you. He knows exactly what he needed to do to make you scream his name, or make you beg.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual) - Basically, every position he can reach your ass. His favorite though, is doggy style. He loves to watch how your ass wiggles every time he thrusts into you. And In this position, he has a wide range of possibilities. He can spank your ass, pull your hair and grip your hips to pull you into each of his thrusts. 

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc) - It’s Deadpool. He is a big fucking child, so expect him to make stupid jokes and puns. He will probably give your vagina a nickname or refer to his dick as ‘little Deadpool’. Oh, and of course, he insists you call him ‘Daddypool’. 

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.) - I don't think he can grow hair.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…) - Although he is usually pretty silly, there are also days when intimacy is very important to him. On these days, he prefers positions where he can be particularly close to you. Good old missionary position. Slow but deep thrusts. He would make sure that every inch of your skin touched his, while his forehead was pressed against yours. Every time your eyes closed, he would grab your jaw and ask you to look at him. And, of course, a lot of gentle kisses.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon) - Before he met you, he masturbated quite often. But since he has you, it became less and less. Only when he was separated from you for a long time did he touch himself, wishing that it was your hand wrapped around his cock instead of his own.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks) - There are many. Daddy kink is one of them. Something about the way you call him ‘daddy’ makes him crazy. Especially if you look at him with your innocent eyes or bite your lip.

 Another would be praise kink. He loves to tell you what a good girl you are and how good you look with his cock in your mouth. As much as he liked to praise you, he liked to be praised by you. It made him incredibly happy and proud when you tell him how good he feels inside you and how good he makes you feel.

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do) - Actually, he does not care where you do it. However, he prefers your shared apartment because there he has everything he could possibly need to make you scream and/or beg.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going) - It is simple. You. Absolutely everything you do turns him on. Every little activity. Especially if you walk around in underwear or in one of his shirts.

 Once, when you walked around in his shirt, he just grabbed you and put you on the table. He gave you a little push, so you lay with your back on the surface and just pushed your panties aside before burying his head between your thighs.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs) - Wade would never force you to do something you do not want. Consent is pretty much the most important thing for Wade, and he would never push you to anything.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc) - Wade loves it when you go down on him. Your mouth feels like heaven to him. He likes to hold your hair to see your face better, deep growling falls from his mouth when you look at him as you take him deeper into your throat. You look amazing when your eyes are glassy because his cock is so deep in your throat.

 He likes to receive it as much as he likes to give it. Wade eats your pussy as if it were his last meal, fucking his tongue into your hole. He would let you sit on his face and grab your hips or thighs to pull you closer, moaning as you ride his face. And when you cum, he would not stop until he got every drop of your juice he could get.

P = Pace (Are they fats and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.) - That depends on the mood. When he came home after missions, it was usually rough and hard. He would grasp your hips so hard that imprints will be visible the next morning and your ass will probably be the color of a tomato.

 On days when he was rather lazy everything was a bit slower. Then he would let you ride him, head leaning against the back of the couch as he watched your body move. Hands stroking your sides, occasionally kneading your breasts as the room was filled with soft groans and deep growls.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.) – Although he prefers proper sex because he loves to tease you until you beg him to fuck you, he doesn’t mind quickies.

 When time is short or when he comes home from “work”, it often happens that he simply grabs you and pushes you against the nearest wall. If you're wearing a dress or skirt, he'll simply rip your panties or push them aside before he fucks you.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.) - We are talking about Wade here ... He will try everything you suggest and will have suggestions as well.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…) - His mutation has worked wonders on his stamina, he could probably do it all night. And since he is not an egoist, he makes sure that you come as often as possible before he thinks of coming even once. Such a gentleman.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?) - Yes. Yes he does. Everything your heart desires. Handcuffs, dildos, vibrators, plugs .... really everything. He likes to use the toys on you, but every now and then, if you look at him with your puppy eyes, he lets you use them on him.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease) – Such. A. Fucking. Tease. If there is enough time, and if he is not too impatient, he'll let you beg for an eternity until he even touches you.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make) - Wade is very talkative, it makes no difference when or where. He loves to praise you in bed and tell you how good you are for him and he likes to whisper dirty things in your ear. It can also happen when the mood is not too serious, that he begins to moderate the sex or to talk to an imaginary audience. And a lot of stupid jokes. He moans too, then his voice is usually very deep and rough, but he prefers to hear you screaming his name.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?) - Wade has a very high sex drive. He can’t keep his eyes off you and can only think of bending you over the nearest piece of furniture and pound into you.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards) - If it was harder than usual, Wade will not sleep until you're already asleep. He wants to first make sure that you're okay.

 However, it did happen a few times that he fell asleep while he was still inside of you, but that only happened when you were on top and he had a very long day.

Addicted To The Prettier Things

Fandom: Sanders Sides

Ships: Romantic Mosleep/Sleepality (this ship is so underrated please cry with me)

Summary: Remy and Patton take road trips together and Remy quite enjoys the opportunity the long car ride gives him to watch his boyfriend.

Warnings (in order of strength): None as far as I’m aware! Please tell me if I need to add anything.

Genre: Pure tooth-rotting Fluff, Human AU

A/N: I was feeling down and writer’s block was kicking my teeth in but apparently I just needed to write some cute fluff. The title is a lyric from this song I’ve been obsessed with lately. Also @ my taglist peeps, I promise I have a full length fic in the works that I’ll get out to y’all as soon as I get my life together. Love you all 🖤✨

Remy liked napping in the car. It was the perfect transitory experience. Was he asleep? Not quite. Was he awake? Definitely not. Did he know where he was? Somewhere in the middle of nowhere and that’s all he cared to know.

Sunlight streamed through the car’s windshield and weakly past Remy’s dark sunglasses. The light wasn’t piercing; it was warm and rested gently against his eyelids. Occasionally the sun was blocked by a cloud or a freeway overpass sign creating a patchwork of gentle shade.

It was peaceful, the car bumping softly the few rare times Patton couldn’t avoid a pothole. Patton was a good driver. He drove slower than most and often chose longer routes just because he knew the road would be clearer. Remy didn’t mind; the back roads took them to blue skies and thick trees and fields that would have seemed untouched if it weren’t for the dark highway that snaked through them.

Besides, the longer the drive, the more time he got to spend with his boyfriend. 

Of course he loved their monthly road trips, but the car rides were his favorite part. Patton had this cute habit of humming; never loud, just a soft, constant melody that would inevitably lull Remy to- well not quite sleep, but peace. It was something better than sleep, something more like perfectly calm contentedness.  

Patton was humming now, quietly narrating every turn and pass- “First I slow down so you can get past me. And then I put my blinker on and sneak into that lane.”  Remy was sitting with his head resting on the doorframe and his eyes closed but he couldn’t resist smiling at Patton’s voice.

Patton must have caught him because Remy felt a hand run through his hair and scratch lightly at his undercut, “I thought you were sleeping.”

Remy shifted into the touch without opening his eyes, “Yeah well, I thought you were driving.”

Patton chuckled and moved his hand back to the wheel. Remy moved in the direction he knew Patton’s hand had retreated to and tried to glare up at the other man. Try being the operative word. It was hard to even appear upset when Patton was looking so angelic. His blue eyes sparkled as he stared straight ahead at the never ending road and his lips were quirked just slightly into a grin.  The sunlight danced through his hair, giving him shimmering highlights as it turned the brown segments into gold.

Patton glanced down and smiled as he made eye contact with Remy. He realized with a shake of his head that he had been staring. Patton brought his hand back to the top of Remy’s head, gently gripping the dark brown locks between his fingers and scratching at his scalp with blunt fingernails.

Remy melted at the touch. He leaned across the center console and probably would have crawled into Patton’s lap if he could’ve.

Patton was openly laughing now, “Good lord, Rem, you’re like an overly friendly cat.”

Remy could tell Patton was trying to get a reaction out of him and decided it would be far more entertaining just to ignore his boyfriend.

Patton tried to pull away but Remy clamped his hand over top of his head, effectively trapping Patton’s fingers in his hair.

“Remy, I need to drive!” Patton laughed again but Remy could hear a slight edge on his voice, “Go back to sleep.”

Remy relented, letting go of Patton’s hand and moving his knees to face outward. But he refused to close his eyes. It was far too tempting to keep staring at Patton for the rest of the trip.

Patton looked adorable when he concentrated. His brows scrunched together and sometimes he stuck his tongue out like a little kid. The streaming sunlight filtered in and out of Patton’s eyes, transforming them from light crystal blue to deep turquoise.

Remy wasn’t sure how long he stared and he didn’t really care. It was a lovely thing to be able loose focus watching his boyfriend. He had long since lost shame over staring; Patton was too beautiful to resist.

Remy was shaken out of his stupor when he felt the car pull over at the side of the road. He looked out the window, surprised to find absolutely nothing for miles ahead and behind them.

“Why are we stopping?”

Patton raised an eyebrow, “You can’t expect me to focus on driving when you’ve got your eyes on me like that.”

“Oh sorry, I-“

Remy’s sarcastic comment was cut off by Patton’s mouth. It took Remy’s slightly dazed mind a moment to realize he was being kissed. Obviously they had kissed before, but Remy never got tired of it. Patton was soft and slow and somehow reminded Remy of the pastel sky above them and it still was one of the most intense things Remy had ever had the honor to experience.

When Patton finally broke away, Remy was more lightheaded than before. He decided to blame it on the lack of oxygen because that was a lot less embarrassing than the truth.

Patton gave him a light shove and turned back into the lane, “Now go to sleep and stop distracting me.”

“Yeah. Yep. Definitely doing that.”

———————————————-

When Remy woke up again the sky was a deep indigo tinged with purple and the constant rumble of the car had stopped.

And Patton was leaning into his lap, planting a trail of kisses along his jawline.

Remy laughed, confused but not exactly disliking the experience, “What are you doing?”

“Waking you up,” Patton had taken a moment to wink at Remy but had since begun attacking his face again.

He glanced around, taking in the hotel parking lot they were parked in. The yellow fluorescent street lamps turned the late dusk purple. A moth bumped along the windshield after getting bored of their headlights. In front of them, a field stretched forward in that deep shade of green that you could only find in Midwestern summers.

“It’s beautiful here.”

Patton hummed from where he had migrated to Remy’s neck.

“Nearly as beautiful as you.”

Remy could feel Patton’s smile against his skin. He forced the other man to break away, softly gripping his chin and tilting his head up, “Want to go exploring with me?”

“Wouldn’t do it with anyone else,” Patton leaned forward to peck Remy on the lips once more before clambering out of the car and running off into the field.

Remy chuckled, watching his love for one more second before following through the dusky haze. He hoped Patton had already checked in with the hotel because it looked like it’d be a while before they were back.

[arolla-pine]

She said YES - p.6

Next morning Luka woke up with a smile on his face. In fact, the smile hadn’t faded for last two days. Since Ladybug had given him the Snake Miraculous, and he discovered that his super-girlfriend is a superheroine at the same time. Because he could – for now unofficially – call Marinette his girlfriend, if they had been on a date yesterday, right?

He sighed. “Unofficially”, right… Yesterday she had asked him to keep it secret. He wasn’t sure what actually was that “it” – kisses, feelings or a relationship? All those – except kisses – were unclear for him. At least kisses gave him a hope for a reciprocity of his feelings and for becoming a couple.

And that hope awakened a new melody in his heart. He felt like he could write a new song now. That made him laugh inwardly – it occurred to him that he’d create more songs in the nearest future.

When Juleka went into his room in the morning, she found him playing. This time the song was romantic but not nostalgic anymore.

“Oh, I can see you feel better?” she muttered.

“Much better.” He smiled.

“Will you tell me?”

“Soon, Jules. Promise.”

“I’ve invited Marinette for the afternoon.” Juleka said.

“OK.”

“Will you talk to her?”

“Maybe.”

“Luka?”

“Yeah, Jules?”

“Uhm… Nothing. But talk to her, OK?”

“OK.”

When she left, Luka stared at the door for a moment. He felt that Juleka had to have her own reasons of so frequent invitations. He was sure that she probably wanted to create an opportunity for him to confess his feelings to Marinette. She didn’t know that he had already done it, and Marinette answered with reciprocity.

He couldn’t wait for the afternoon. He wasn’t sure if Marinette would try to meet him, or rather she’d be avoiding him to keep their date secret.

***

He felt her presence. He knew she was somewhere near. For a moment he felt like checking if she would drop in on him or she’d pass by. Then he realised he didn’t want to risk not seeing her. Even if she didn’t look for the opportunity to meet him. He couldn’t help it. He must see her.

And he met her. In a narrow corridor next to the kitchen. They stood face to face, holding their breath, staring at each other, both blushed. Time stopped.

“Hi…” he whispered finally.

“Hi, Luka…” she smiled in reply.

“How are you?”

“Very well. And you?”

“Perfectly. I’ve written a new song…” he blurted out.

“Oh, really?” she asked interested. “You think I’ll like it?”

“Yeah, I think so! This morning I just had to play it, you know? I still can’t believe that yesterday happened for real…” he whispered, leaning in to her unconsciously.

“It did happen for real…” she confirmed in whisper, leaning in to him too.

“And we still keep it secret?” he asked to be sure.

“If we stay here for longer, probably it won’t be a secret anymore…” she winked at him.

“But it’s so difficult to go away, when you’re so close.” He confessed, embracing her.

“Just go…” she muttered, hugging him. “If Juleka finds us here, I’ll just die.”

“You’re ashamed of me?” he laughed into her hair.

“I’m not. But she gave me a lecture about turning boys’ heads recently. And I’m just scared a bit…”

Luka chuckled.

“All right, Ma-Marinette. You convinced me. I know that Juleka can be ominous…”

‘Especially when she says that she’ll disembowel someone like fish and hang them astern…” he added in his mind.

She looked up and stared at his eyes. He immediately leaned in and kissed her. It was to be just a quick kiss. But after their date there was nothing like “quick kisses” anymore in their vocabulary. They just couldn’t part from each other.

“So, I can see you have talked finally.” They suddenly heard nearby.

They broke the kiss and looked at the direction of the voice. There was Juleka in the corridor who was watching them with a half-smile on her face. The meaningful smile that made them both blush.

Cat Astrological Sun signs and Their Personality Type

Aries cat - The Enforcer (march 20 - april 19) Aries cats are typically red in color because they are a fire sign. Their personality is also on fire as they are are always on the prowl. When you see your Aries cat crounched down, ready to pounce on their prey, notice the strategizing that must be playing out in their mind. Aries cats are naturally aggressive and enjoy engaging in mind games and war games where they can conquer their prey. It's all strategy and calculation. This makes them successful mousers. Don't be surprised when they walk through the back-door carrying their victim in their mouth. Capturing the enemy, holding it hostage or even killing it is all in a day's work. Aries cats are possessive and will protect their territory under no uncertain terms. And they are quite certain that you are part of their territory. It would be common for a cat owner to say, "My cat thinks he/she is a dog." It may take the Aries cat a while to warm up to your friends or relationships. To the Aries cat, it is you and the cat that have the special relationship. How can you help your Aries cat? Give him/her something to conquer. Aries cats are soldiers; let them serve and protect. Taurus cat - The Fat Cat (april 19 - may 20) Taurus cat is all about pleasure, which happens to come in the form of food and then laying around with a full belly. They are grazers and will rarely walk by their bowl without enjoying the savory taste of just one more bite. Most Taurus cats are overweight because they just can't say no to another tasty morsel of food. The food can look bad, smell bad and even taste bad and they will still eat it. Taurus cats are rarely finicky about their food. The only exercise a Taurus cat is interested in is when he/she decides to get up and walk over there. Either because food is on the other side of the room or there is a more comfortable place to lay down. These cats rarely ever run because that would be like watching a cow run. Cows stand or sit in the pasteur and craze all day long. The real descripture for the Taurus is not actually a bull, it's a cow. A melodious cow. Mooooooo! Therefore, your Taurus cat may even snore you a melodious tune. Taurus cats are interested in comfort, first and foremost. A comfortable pillow, a warm fireplace and a full bowl of food is all they need and desire. Spending a lot of money on a Taurus cat is simply unnecessary. They are interested in the simple pleasures that Life has to offer (food and a pillow). How can you help your Taurus cat? Refrain from cramping their comfort and style with unnecessary toys. Your Taurus cat will know that you Love him/her when you refill their bowl. Taurus Cat Archetype: Garfield Gemini Cat - The Curious Twins (may 20 - june 21) It is important to realize when you own a Gemini Cat, that you are getting two cats in one. What worked an hour ago for this cat has completely changed. Gemini cats are communicators and they will "meow" looking straight at you as if they are actually speaking to you. The Gemini cat meows are easy to interpret. Just listen and follow what it is you think you heard. Once a Gemini cat thinks you understand, they will probably talk even more. A Gemini cat needs to host their own TV or radio show on Animal Planet. And speaking of TV or radio; Gemini cat will watch TV and listen to the radio. It would be wise to hide the remote control from Gemini cat because he/she is not just trying to play rug hockey with it, Gemini cat is actually trying to figure and work the remote control. They are trying to change channels. If you leave the TV or radio on when you are gone, they will be content. Gemini cat has nervous energy and will be constantly on the go. They are witty, sharp and will try to mess with your mind. In fact, the best way to communicate with Gemini cat is to mess with their mind. They are looking to you to be their best friend and favorite playmate How can you help your Gemini cat? Change the TV channel every so often. Gemini's are known for getting bored and this goes for your Gemini cat too. Cancer Cat - The Lover (june 21 - july 22) I have a lot of experience with a Cancer Cat. Actually my cat was a cusper cat who sat on the cusp of being a Cancer cat and a Leo cat. Talk about a cat that needed LOTS of attention! If you've ever been in Love and can't quite stop looking at the one you Love, then this is how Cancer cat feels about you. It may appear as though this cat is asleep, but the minute you turn your back, they are Lovingly staring at you again. Wherever Cancer Cat chooses to lay their head, they will always have a clear view of you. Much like their human counterparts, they are very nurturing, maternal, Loving and extremely cuddley. Their desire to be near you is about taking care of you and your needs. They seek to give you Love and in return they receive Love, so in a sense, it is all about Cancer cat receiving Love. This cat will need so much Love, affection and attention that if you deny them their goal, they will probably pout and give you the cold shoulder. Cancer put the "p" in the word pout! Cancer cat has probably two favorite places to lay. One place may be secluded where they can go into their shell and be alone, especially if they are pouting. The other place is where they can keep one eye gazing at you. If Cancer cat suddenly meows loudly while looking at you, they are saying to you, "I Love You!" How can you help your Cancer cat? Talk to your Cancer cat and show them lots of Love and affection. Remember, they are giving you what they seek for themselves (Love), just like their human Cancer counterparts. Leo cat - The Royal and Noble Cat (july 22 - august 22) Leo cats are as representative of Royalty as royalty can get. When you buy this cat a collar, it would better have rhinestones, gemstones or even diamonds. These cats have an ego and you will be able to tell it outright. They have beautiful stately posture just like a lion on the safari. They are the royalty of the zodiac. When these cats are resting and relaxing, they tend to enjoy tactile fellowship with lots of licking, purring, touching and head rubbing. The are very romantic and sexy cats with plenty of charm to mesmerize and hypnotize you. And when it comes to their food, each cat looks out for itself. Fighting, squabbling and pestering are common especially with adult males because in Big Cat Country the males usually eat first, followed by the females and then their little cubbies. Yes, these cats are egotistical and will let you know it. Just like their lion counterparts, they spend a lot of their time resting and are inactive for about 20 hours per day. They prefer for everyone to wait on them because again, they are royalty. Talk about a big ego! They enjoy being admired, Loved, worshiped and stroked. These cats will strut their stuff and prance around the house just looking for praise and admiration. These cats will also be enamoured with their own reflection in the mirror. Just watch them lick their paws and stroke their own body. If you choose to ignore them - they will do what it takes to get your attention, even if they have to pee on something that you Love. They will sulk, pout and turn to someone else for their Love and affection. How can you help your Leo cat? Give praise and admiration. Their food is actually anything that will feed their ego. Virgo cat - the Clean Cat (august 22 - september 22) My veterinarian told me that cats are not finicky, rather that people are and they create finicky cats. Nothing could be further from the Truth when it comes to Virgo cats. They are THE MOST fastidious, fussy and crotchety cats you will ever come across. It is common knowledge in the land of astrology that a Virgo cat litterbox will resemble that of a Japanese Garden. In fact, decorating their space around the litterbox would make them very happy. Put everything at their eye level, maybe even a bonsai tree and small rice paper screen. Their own meditation music would be great too. Virgo cats are very very clean. They typically have few health problems because they represent cleaniness, Good hygiene and promote Good health. They tend to be spotless and rarely ever spill their food or splash their water. What? And mess up their clean environment! And when it does come to water, this cat will actually enjoy a relaxing bath every now and again. As far as hairballs; what hairballs? If you find them, they will be tucked away somewhere nice and neat in a little pile or maybe even covered in their litterbox. How can you help your Virgo cat? If you have a long haired Virgo cat, make certain that you help keep this cat groomed. Keep your house clean, neat and organized because it is their house too. Libra cat - the Romantic Companion (september 22 - october 23) There is a saying in astrology for humans that goes like this, "Libra plays the game and Scorpio gets the blame." This saying goes with cat country too. Libra cats are charming, fun, sociable and just downright gorgeous. You would be hard-pressed to find a Libra cat that didn't have an attractive personality. Believe me, they know exactly what they are doing with their charming ways. They are no doubt little flirts too. Libra cats need companionship. In other words, they will get along so much better in their world if they are tag-teamed with another cat, preferably another air sign cat (Gemini or Aquarius). This is only because the entire environment will be fun, playful and the energy in the house will remain positive and high-flying. In you have an outdoor Libra cat, they will no doubt bring other cats home to dinner and before you know it, you will be feeding the neighborhood cats. They like to get out and about, socialize and check out the scenary. They want a party! These cats do find their way into trouble every now and again because they are just looking for a Good time. Libra cats do not like injustice under any circumstances and will come to the rescue when they find it necessary. How can you help your Libra cat? Make certain that your Libra cat has a companion, otherwise your Libra cat will be extremely lonely and unhappy. They need to wrestle around with another cat and play chase. Scorpio cat - the Mischievious and Secretive Cat (october 23 - november 21) I had a Scorpio cat (Penelope) who was THE MOST mischievious cat you could have ever met. In fact, her own mischievious behavior led to her demise because she bit on more than one occasion. Penelope hid, stayed completely out of sight, ran quickly from one place to another and hissed even when barely looked upon. It was easy to tell that this cat had secrets and something to hide. I even had a friend of mine, Joan Ranquet, who is an animal communicator talk to her because I could not get into this cat's mind to see what would make her happy. Penelope just wouldn't share with me although she did enjoy only ME petting her. Even one stroke too many from me resulted in a HISS two inches from my face with fangs drawn and lightening ready to strike. Joan informed me about Penelope's past because she was indeed a stray, which naturally brought along baggage that Penelope just couldn't get over. This cat was holding a grudge, which is a typical Scorpio trait. Scorpio's Love and hate with equal fervor and so did this cat. Scorpio cats have secret hiding places where they will bury or hide their toys, catnip or even your shoes and glasses. You might even joke about this cat and say, "My cat thinks he/she's a dog." Bottom line, Scorpio cats are territorial. They are little detectives and will eye up your house guests in seconds flat. Scorpio cats are also highly jealous. They hiss and throw a fit when someone else is getting your attention and it will be you that pays for it. Not to mention they will never like the person who grabbed your attention away from them, especially if you are the one in the house who feeds them, then they are attached to YOU! Scorpio cats are not Good cats to have around children because they are too fiesty, jealous and unpredictable. They will protect a child if they absolutely have to, otherwise they just don't like children. They recognize children as small people, which is too close in size to them, which makes children their competition. If you don't want scratch marks on your children, get a different sun sign cat. Also, if you are a Scorpio yourself, then the cat will probably not like you either because you will be competition. That Scorpio cat will plot to sting you the first chance it gets. Again, Scorpio cats are territorial. How can you help your Scorpio cat? Keep your distance; Scorpio will tell you what you need to know, when you need to know it. Otherwise, your business is their business and their business is none of your business. Saggitarius cat - the Traveling Gypsy (november 21 - december 21) Sagittarian cats are often strays because they Love to roam and wander the planet. They are typically colorful characters in personality, mannerisms and appearance. They are the explorers and gypsies of the zodiac. In other words, they are the traveling cat who does not get car-sick. This cat would even Love jewelry attached to their collar so that they would sound and look just like a gypsy. If you ever really do see a cat behind a steering wheel, you can believe that it is a Sagittarian gypsy cat ready to explore the world. These cats are best left with an open door policy, meaning they need to explore the neighborhood and see who is out there. They have places to go, people to meet and homes of different cultures to visit. Sagittarian cats are not nearly as neat and tidy as the Virgo cat. In fact, the Sagittarian cat is probably the messiest cat of the twelve signs. They have so much going on that they cannot take the time to keep their area clean. Their toys are scattered everywhere and their litterbox will need cleaning more often than most cats. They don't have time to worry about things like litterboxes and scattered kitty litter. Whatever! The Sagittarian cat is a lucky, happy, street smart cat similiar to the character Bugs Bunny who always comes out a winner when engaged in conflicts with personalities like Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Marvin the Martian, Rocky and Mugsy, Wile E. Coyote, Witch Hazel and Yosemite Sam. The Sagittarian cat can easily get on his/her high horse and yell out, "DIS means war!" just like Good ol' Bugs Bunny. Then again, that overconfidence will at times work against Sagittarian cat and will then get caught playing the trickster on others. This is a very 'lucky' cat and seems to have 18 lives as compared to the usual 9 lives of a typical cat. How can you help your Sagittarius cat? Take this gypsy cat on a trip or it will have to go it alone. Capricorn cat - the Loyal Loner (december 21 - january 20) Capricorn cats are rather shy, reserved and not very sociable. That's because they are practical and all business. They are also usually the boss of the house. They are incredibly devoted to their companion (you) as long as you are Good to them. If they are mistreated, you may think that you have a dog on your hands instead of a cat. Still, they take on the archetype of a dog more than a cat. Capricorn's are known for climbing mountains far and wide, and the ladder of success, which is why the Capricorn Cat takes on the archetype of Lassie, the world's most famous dog. This makes sense because Capricorn rules the 10th house of fame and recognition. If you recall from the story, when Lassie was sold due to economic hard times of her family, she traveled hundreds of miles to get back to the boy she Loved so much. Capricorn cats have the same perseverance and diligence as Lassie. They also have incredible instinct and courage. Capricorn cats can probably prove through their experiences that they do in fact have 9 lives. Capricorn cats will reveal their need for a boost of confidence by their desire for attention, Love and admiration. Remember, Capricorn rules the 10th house of career, recognition, status and fame. Capricorn cats are popular and may even make it to television one day. This is also a very materialistic cat. Make certain that their toys and immediate surroundings are only the best that money can buy if you want to make them happy. How can you help your Capricorn cat? Buy them something nice and you will be their friend for Life. Plenty of kind words and strokes of affection will make this cat man's best friend. Aquarius cat - the Eccentric One (january 20 - february 19) This Aquarian cat is one quirky and peculiar cat who is out to have an adventurous and explorative Good time. This cat gets twisted in telephone and extension cords while drawing friends into its rebellious and erratic world. Aquarius naturally rules technology, so if you are missing the remote control, follow the Aquarian cat! This cat is happy, friendly, a bit goofy and curiously inventive. You may think this cat is on drugs half the time but again, it is just the Aquarian cat quirky personality. This cat enjoys playing with string, balls, feathers and may even play catch or fetch like a dog. You may get the feeling that this cat is from another planet simply because Aquarius rules the future, invention and technology. Aquarian cats definitely require adult supervision unless of course you want to come home and find your home is disarray. Their curious and inquisitive nature is certain to equal trouble and chaos. Sometimes all you can do is shake your head and laugh because it's impossible to stay angry at this seemingly innocent yet chaotic cat. How can you help your Aquarius cat? A toy cell phone, toy remote control and maybe even its own Barbie car should keep this cat busy for at least another week before it finds more trouble to get into Pisces cat - Imaginative Cat (february 19 - march 20) Pisces cat has one heck of an imagination typically seeing what no one else can. This is a very entertaining cat and enjoys being on stage or creating drama wherever and whenever it can. Everything is done dramatically with the Pisces cat due to its over-active imagination. This cat is obviously under the influence of Neptune, its naturally ruling planet, which also rules drugs and anesthesia. Pisces cat is drawn into surrealism and anything that reflects a dreamlike or bizarre nature. Pisces cat easily frees its unconscious mind and exercises its imagination. This cat can probably paint! You might even see Pisces cat chasing shadows that you do not see, yet know that is exactly what they are doing. Since this cat is the dreamer, it is also the dancer. Just watch this cat dance playfully while chasing bugs, shadows on the wall or imaginary images that are not seen by anyone else. This is an incredibly happy cat left to its own instincts and playful nature. Pisces cat is also very affectionate, kind and has incredible social manners. This cat really wants to be Loved and will take it personal if it feels you do not care about them, which is another reason why this cat is so entertaining because it just wants to be Loved. This cat is also very spiritual and you may just get the sense that this cat understands the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Pisces cat is grateful and has "Star Power!" How can you help your Pisces cat? This cat is moved by kindness and enjoys affection, praise and an audience. If you laugh or clap one time, this will stimulate more of the same. Pisces cat knows when it is on stage.

[lunar-winterlude]

I am stealing this post. Oversharing, ahoy!

1. what do you think is the most bittersweet word in the english language? (or bonus: your own language) The first word that came to mind was “dilapidated” but only because it was my favorite word for a while.

2. what colours describe the moment you’re in right now? A sick shade of neon green bleeding into smudges of grey on a brown background.

3. what hour is the ideal time? why? 8-10pm because that’s when I’ve been most creatively productive these days. Which is funny, considering it used to be around 6am. I blame this on the gmm break :p

4. describe a place which would make you feel at home Somewhere comfy where I can sit for hours and not feel obligated to do anything or talk to anyone. I’m describing my couch. or my bed.

5. if you could choose ten songs to explain who you are, which songs would they be? They would be a bunch of electronic tracks that my sister would listen to, shake her head, and say, “You are your own person” (which is what we say to each other when one of us doesn’t understand something that the other is passionate about). how different would this playlist have been in the past? Honestly, it would not have changed much unless you go all the way back to late high school or college, when it would’ve been mostly Romantic-era classical music. Go even further back to middle/high school and it would’ve been mostly Linkin Park and SOAD.

6. which experiences have made you grow as a person? Well, right now I’m still reeling from coming out to the family. I think I’ve grown a lot from standing up for myself and expressing my feelings. at what moments do you realise how much you’ve grown? Right now. Right this second. I’ve grown a lot this year. Usually I realize I’ve grown when I no longer care about something (or when someone no longer cares about me), and I look back in awe on how that thing (or person) used to be a massive part of my life.

7. if you could pick the 5 most significant moments in your life, which ones would they be? Starting bassoon in 10th grade, finishing my college senior recital (which was almost 8 years ago????), moving to North Carolina last year, deconstruction, coming out.

8. what colour are you? translucent grey. what colour are your friends? all of the colors in their full brilliance. if you could pick five colours to make a palette for your life, which ones would you pick? brown, grey, sky blue, and lots and lots of sharp reds and greens

9. if you ever go out to watch the stars, which stars hold your attention the most? hmmm, I think that would be the little dipper, which is the most basic-ass answer, but it’s hard for me to locate many other constellations without the connect-the-dots from those science textbook diagrams. which ones do you see first? Orion’s belt!!

10. what does it feel like to be on the same wavelength as another person? It feels like the flow state times a million and I love it and it rarely ever happens. what would you say is your wavelength? Steady, with occasional speedy, panicky bits.

11. if you could describe yourself as a taste, what taste would you be? I have absolutely no idea how to answer this question, because my self-perception is skewed and I’m not really sure how most people see me. But I’ll go with something bland with a bit of salt why? Because most people find me tolerable for a while, but they eventually move on to something better?

12. describe your closest friend(s) as songs? Okay this might not make much sense, but I’m picking The Descent by CharlestheFirst for all of my friends. why did you pick that song for them? Because it’s one of my go-to songs that makes me v. happy, just like them. ;p

13. if you were an art piece, what would you look like? Either The Scream or Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog, which I am naming because they are the only paintings I like that I can remember atm. what type of art piece would you be? Is this question about eras of art history or art mediums? I’ll go with the first one...I’d be something Impressionist (which I know neither of those two paintings are, but shhhh). That actually reminds me of a piece I saw at the Corning museum of glass once, Continuous Mile, which is a freaking mile-long rope of tiny glass beads. I love the idea of a collection of tiny things coming together to form something completely different.

14. are you someone strives to who find and research the invisible depth of the knowledge we have, or are you someone who imagines the knowledge yet to come? I! Am! Neither! I just want to exist right now and feel good about it.

15. are you the voice that everyone listens to? or are you the voice in the shadows, the real voice behind the person everyone listens to? or are you not the voice at all, but the listener and collector of ideas? or perhaps the person that makes them happen? I am the shadow that’s rarely noticed, perhaps because I’m always there.

16. what are the little things in life that keep you going? The clear blue sky, good conversation with friends, that moment when I finish writing a song or a fic. what small things are the ones that make you feel bigger emotions? When I hear a new song that combines sfx, melody, and harmony in interesting ways.

#about me #ask meme #i felt like typing a lot #this got to 'i'm 14 and this is deep' levels of crap #whoops #i would tag someone but this isn't that kind of thing is it #idk #do it anyway if you want

Soudam Week: Day 1 - Non-Despair School Life

Hi! This my first work for Danganronpa, and I thought’s be a nice break from GM and Voltron as a whole, so please enjoy! <3 (and yes, all of these will be posted on my AO3)

This was utter nonsense.

  Pure, unadulterated tomfoolery in his opinion. And, considering it was the opinion of the Supreme Overlord of Ice and future ruler of this pathetic mortal realm, it should’ve mattered a great deal. Yes.

Should’ve.

  But against his very vehemnet protests, this... menial task was still thrust upon him. Him! The Great Gundham Tanaka! This was an insult, an outrage . And yet...Gundham didn’t dare refuse. For fear, cold blooded and rabid, fear of one homeroom teacher Chisa Yukizome. A truly monstrous mortal that even Gundam wished never to anger. Not again.

Never again.

  So here he was, the cursed offspring between an Angel and a Devil, having to ask a classmate of all things for assistance. Which was, as Gundham had previously stated, utter nonsense. The classmate in question was one Kazuichi Souda. The Super Highschool Level Mechanic.

And someone Gundham would’ve rather not interacted with.

  N-Not because that mortal with the wonderfully hellish teeth and the sharp, glitteringly intelligent eyes had caught his own all-seeing eye! N-Nor the fact that even his wonderful Dark Devas of Destruction had deemed such a mortal worthy of their nuzzles and affections. Or e-even how that loud, boisterous laughter can bring even his all-powerful ice heart to a steady melt . Wait-

Was had he been talking about?

  Oh! Right! Final projects. Yes, the projects... which are final . Those projects. Ahem, anyway, Gundham needed Souda’s help. You see, he project was to design a product that would assist one in Ultimate Talent. His other classmates had steadily finished their’s over the past months.

  The Always Hungry One had created a sort of portable sandwich holder. The Devil Dancer had invented a speaker that shouted recorded insults at those the machine recognized, greatly distressing the Timid One. The Red Eyed One and the Baby Faced One had collaborated on a project and produced a sort of decoding device. Naturally, the Great Gundham Tanaka had came up with something even better.

A cage!

  But not just any cage, this was a cage that could read the wait of an animal and adjust it’s diameters to fit the warrior properly. It was ingenious! So when his homeroom teacher had informed him that the idea and the sketches he made weren’t going to be enough to pass, the Overlord of Ice was begrudgingly forced to seek out the Sharp Toothed One for assistance on creating a prototype.

But that was proving rather difficult.

  Hope’s Peak was a huge palace with many twists and turns, not to mention seemingly infinite lab space for each of its students. So Gundam was forced to run back and forth in an increasingly frustrating search for the mechanic. It was then that his cursed ears picked up the distant siren song of a radio.

“I don’t wanna talk about it...I don’t wanna think about it.”

  It was coming somewhere further down the hall of endless garages. Could it be? Gundham decided to take a chance all follow the call of the radio enchantress.

“I’m just feeling low, feeling low.”

  All the papers and folders and pamphlets containing help information pertaining to Gundam’s project suddenly turned moist under his palms. There! Underneath the voice trapped in the radio, was that-? Gundham’s heart leapt to his throat.

Beating far too fast for something made of ice.

“Even when you’re next to me, it’s not the way I’m picturing.”

Souda.

  Gundham knew it, felt it. Underneath all that noise, was Souda’s voice. Quietly following along the song with near masterful accuracy. NOt quite melodious, but far from off-key. Just right and wonderful . This...actually came as a shock to the Ultimate Breeder.

He’d never heard something quite like it.

  Yes, he, the Great Gundham Tanaka and Super Highschool Level Animal Breeder, had never heard Souda’s voice like this . N-Not that he had actively listened into the Sharp Toothed One’s conversations! No! Not at all! I-It just seemed out of the ordinary for someone like Souda.

Which only flustered Gundham even more.

  Clearly , this was previously unknown side of Souda. Side no one knew. Until now. And he, Gundham Tanaka, now knew something about Kazuichi Souda that no one else did! Not even his beloved ‘soul brother.’ It made the Overlord of Ice preen up just the slightest bit in pride as he ventured even closer to that soft voice.

“You wanna be friends forever?”

Then it hit him.

  The Sharp Toothed One...He would most likely detest the idea of Gundham’s knowledge of this particular behavior of his. Which sent his cold heart plummeting to the deep, dark pit of Gundham’s stomach.

His mood coming down with it.

“I can think of something better.”

It was because of the She-Cat.

  That’s all Gundham was able to decipher from the absolute anomaly that was Kazuichi Souda. Apparently, the Sharp Tooth One was under the misunderstanding that he, the Great Gundham Tanaka, held romantic... affections for the Dark Queen.

Which was far, far from the truth.

  While it was true that the She-Cat was a strong and welcomed ally in his plans for world-domination, she was just that. A trusted and valued ally . Souda... Souda was different. Souda was the twist in his stomach and the worrying falter of his heart. Souda was sleepless nights dreaming of dyed hair in his hands and restless mornings filled with vain efforts to try not to stare too much at still sleep-soft expressions on Souda’s face. Sonia was stability and simplicity. Souda was nothing like that.

Souda was chaos.

“I’m just feeling low, feeling low.”

And Gundham loved it.

  It was because of the chaos Souda created within him that the Overlord of Ice could see no other being worthy of sharing his path. No other person qualified to rule the world by his side.

But that just wasn’t meant to be.

“Sleeping here right next to me...”

  For even he, the Great Gundham Tanaka, was subject to the cruel mistress that is fate. And that mistress had foretold of Souda’s doomed feelings for the She-Cat. But, what was once a strained, uncomfortable relation, had now grew into a fairly stable friendship.

Leaving him behind.

“But will you ever mess with me?”

It was Invading Black Dragon Cham-P that woke him from his stupor.

  Rubbing against his commander’s poisonous cheek softly, as if to raise his spirits. An action Gunham took full advantage of to pet his beloved Deva in a similarly caring manner. The other Devas eventually emerging from the Angel’s scarf to see what else they could do to combat their commander’s sudden sadness.

San-D’s eyes glinting dangerously.

  That alone should have tipped Gundham off. But thoughts of his rotting relationship thwe Souda and the Sharp Toothed One himself had made the Overlord of Ice weak , soft. As they always did. If only for a moment, a second .

Which was all the Devas needed.

  Shooting from their home in the Angel’s scarf with all the power of true hellbeasts. Sprinting, as if their lives depended on it, the second their paws hit the cool floor. Gundham jolting in shock. Wait! No!

They were going to Souda!

  Oh no. Oh no, no, no. Gundham could only run after them in a near-mad dash. They couldn’t alert the Sharp Toothed One to his presence! Not when he was so unprepared! But the Devas’ plan had worked. In forcing the pair’s meeting to occur faster, Gundham’s misery was altogether forgotten.  

“No...”

  Souda’s voice was but a soft howl as the Devas disappeared around the corner and into Souda’s open garage. Gundham barely able to skid to a halt at the edge of the doorframe. His, now frantic heart, almost beating out of the cage in his chest. The music was louder now, as was Souda’s voice.

Oddly comforting.

  A soft squeaks of his Devas finally gave Gundham the push he needed to peer inside Souda’s garage. And, for the second time that day, the Great Gundham Tanaka was once again shocked.

It was...different than what he had imagined.

  With large windows taking up nearly half the massive walls. Letting a great deal of natural light that made even the greasiest tools and half-finished projects sparkle. Like a magic spell, the garage was suddenly transformed into a room full of secret runes and treasures Gundham immediately longed to understand. Large metal shelves piled with current works and spare parts. And there, near the largest work table in the center of that sunlit scene, was the Ultimate Mechanic himself.

Souda.

“But at least i got you in my head, oh yeah...”

  And, like casting a magic spell, Gundham was entranced. Souda stood, with his back to the door, his long pink hair tied together in a single, glorious braid flowing between his lean shoulders. The soft, curling ends just fluttering above the small of his back treacherously. Gundham’s bandaged fingers twitching to the sudden urge to wrap his fist around the velvet rope of hair and tug the mechanic closer to him. The Overlord of Ice had seldom seen Souda’s hair like this, only appearing every seasonal heat wave or so. But, apparently, the Sharp Toothed One seemed to prefer to bind his hair whilst he worked, his beanie long since discarded. Oh Dear Dark Gods.

Gundham really liked his hair like that.

“At least I got you in my head, in my head.”

  Oh vexed vixen! Just as his all-seeing eye had trailed down the shining length of Souda’s tetresses, the little minx moved! No. No, moved wasn’t the right word for it. Not when Gundham felt a cursed heat spread throughout his face. Oh no.

He was dancing.

  Swaying his hips lazily side to side as he sang along to the radio. Gundham’s eyes following every movement. The garishly yellow jumpsuit was gone. Leaving the Souda in nothing but a stained white tank top and equally smudged jeans. The outfit clinging to his muscled frame in such a way it was downright sinful.

And wonderfully so.

“Sleepovers in my head, oh yeah…”

  As if that wasn’t already dangerous to Gundham’s health, Souda’s shoulders also adapted that same torturous swaying motion. Making the long braid of pink hair dangle teasingly behind him. Souda then moved to the short side of the table, taking a long stream of mechanized joints along with him.

Still never catching sight of the Ultimate Breeder.

  Much to Gundham’s relief, as his heart felt as if it would burst from the sheer pressure of this...this trance the Sharp Toothed One had him under. Damn it, he had underestimated the sheer amount of demonic energy this lusty creature had! The Overlord of Ice was surely paying for such negligence now.

Especially as he saw the Devas inching closer to Souda.

“But at least I got you in my head...”

  The Overlord of Ice had to furiously bite his tongue in order to resist the urge to call them back to him and indefinitely alerting Souda to his presence. Unable to do anything except look desperately into their hellfire eyes and beg them not to reveal themselves. But they just sat there, near the other end of the table. Staring at him as if to say, “Give it a chance.”

A chance?

  What would a chance do? Gundham didn’t need a chance! He need Heaven and Hell in his hands for Souda to even consider him, the Great Gundham Tanaka, as a...a romantic partner! He needed bend the very fabric of reality to-

San-D bared her teeth.

  Tiny and flat, they didn’t look dangerous. But Gundham knew better. San-D was a fierce and powerful warrior who commanded both fear and respect amongst all of Gundham’s trusted army. As such, Gundham valued the pull of her devilish instincts to a very high regard.

This was one such case.

  She looked at him and bared her fangs with all the esaperated anger of a third wheeling friend. Forcing Gundham to, once again, re-evaluate his situation. Casting Souda under his all-seeing eyes once more.

  The Ultimate Mechanic's body was leaning over the table, fussing over another joint in the machine. The end of the screwdriver pinched between those magnificently sharp teeth, the music long forgotten as he zeroed in on the offending part. Gaze sharp enough to dismantle the project before him with his mind, but hands skilled enough to fix any and all errors. No matter how miniscule.

Gundham swallowed.

  It was that razor-sharp focus and tunneled passion that drew Gundham to Souda in the first place. In addition to the vicious teeth and cackling laughter. And, ever since the, thing have only gotten worse and worse between the two. Much to the Overlord of Ice’s dismay. But...perhaps...it wasn’t too late.

Souda cheered.

  The sound shocking Gundham from his place at the door frame as Souda blessed the bright, mechanical room with the warmth of his smile. Having been proved victorious in correcting whatever foul error dare cross his path. Sharp toothed and gleaming in the light. He had a smudge of oil on his cheek. Under his left eye, with blobs of it sticking to the part of his hair too short to make it into his braid. Flopping around his face and fluttering up into the hair. The sun’s light only further highlighting how soft and achingly touchable it was. That’s it.

That was the final straw.

“In my head...”

  Gundham looked to San-D and the rest of his beloved Devas. Nodding to them, he gave his permission to continue with their plan. And just like that, the Devas quickly ran up to souda and pounced on the unsuspecting mechanic. All while their commander busied himself with flattening down his hair and straightening his scarf. Souda screaming as the Four Dark Devas quickly took hold of the object of their commander’s pining.

“In my he-GAH!”

“Bwahaha! Foolish mortal, leaving your guard down while I reside within this world? Truly, this is another victory for the Great Gundham Tanaka!”

[rosesnvines]

1,3,5,7,9 for the ship ask meme.

1. What is your favorite ship? Heh heheheeehhh . . . I have more than one. ^^; Jackunzel, Mericcup, Kallura, are among the top well-known ones. I’ve made up my own, primarily the Pevensies with the Cooper Kids and Heroes of Olympus. Or Kate Wibberly from Books of Beginning with Fen Brekke from Blackwell Pages. Syaoran and Sakura from both Tsubasa Chronicles and Cardcaptor Sakura are soooooo adorable!! Oh, and Yuki from Fruits Basket? I actually started shipping him with Karen from Yes Precure 5. Plus I ship Nokoru from CLAMP School Detectives with Sailor Venus (don’t ask, it just clicked), and Seira from Mermaid Melody with Idomu from CLAMP School Detectives. That’s just off the top of my head, and that’s primarily the crossover ones. ^^; 

3. What was your first ship, and what fandom was it from? Technically four for this one, all from the same fandom, Taiora, Mimato, Takari, and Ken/Yolei from Digimon Adventure 01 and 02. 

5. How did you start shipping . . . I’m going with . . . Jackunzel, because Flynn and Rapunzel really do work together. I just found that Jack had more appreciation for Rapunzel’s innocence than Flynn seemed to. I read somewhere that Flynn began to fall in love with Rapunzel the “moment” she began to grow up. Here’s the thing, I never got the notion that Rapunzel was extremely childish (that’s called being a brat, you know), just ignorant of the outside world. And even then, she wasn’t stupid in those instances, she figured things out pretty quickly. (And it’s not like she’s changed all that much in the series.) It was just, based on their personalities, Jack would provide an even softer yet playful romantic interest for Rapunzel, someone who’d disobey her father just as much as she would so he could show her the world. Heck, he’d swoop in and take Rapunzel out on nightly excursions even while she was living with Gothel because he can. Not that Eugene wouldn’t (yes, I go back and forth between his two names, it’s way too easy), but while Eugene acts like he’s seen enough of the world, Jack likes to have fun and wants Rapunzel to have that fun too. Anyway, I think the short point is, Jack just works better with Rapunzel than Eugene, even though Eugene works really well with her too (it’s Disney, they know how to write romance). 

7. What’s a ship you like that most people don’t? Uh . . . Samwise Gamgee with Rosie Cotton (not Frodo)? Kallura? But I think the biggest one that would get a lot of hate is one I ship all by myself (though I have convinced a couple people that it works better than the canon ship he’s in), Lucico. Well, maybe Peyna too, but, definitely Lucico. OK, Lucy Pevensie and Nico di Angelo. Yup, I ship Nico with a tomboyish girl. Here’s the problem, all those clues everyone was talking about that pointed towards Nico being gay? I didn’t see that, still don’t. He loves Percy, sure, but who said it had to be romantic love? Why couldn’t it be brotherly (why can’t it still be brotherly)? Or unconditional love? It didn’t have to be sexual or romantic in any form (there is more than one kind of love. I highly doubt that because Nico loves both of his sisters that he’s interested in incest). Anyway, point is, I started shipping Nico with Lucy before the “big reveal”, and I can’t and won’t go back. I like them together way too much now. Yes, there is still the opposites thing going with them, light and dark, life and death, but there are similarities too. Did you know that Lucy can fight as well as anyone in the Narnian army? And she’s good with a bow and arrow. Can totally see her snatching Will’s bow and arrows to use them (for once) and stealing Nico’s heart in the process (let’s face it, since apparently Nico liked Percy romantically, that means he likes the hero types, which she most certainly is). As for Peyna, which is Peter Pevensie and Reyna, well, Reyna’s just like Nico in the sense that she likes the hero types, which Peter most certainly is (and the High King to boot). And here’s the kicker, Peter doesn’t have a romantic interest, meaning he can return Reyna’s feelings, and most likely will. But, like I said, of those two, Lucico would be the most hated because Nico is with a girl (who said he had to be gay? Why can’t he be bi?), and a pretty awesome girl at that. Someone who kinda understands the feeling of being talked about behind their backs (the book The Voyage of the Dawn Treader reveals that), who did live during the 1940s, who is royalty in a magical realm that can’t be spoken about to “normal” people, and both have an interest in the sea (Nico liked pirates, Lucy would be into mermaids). And of course, having seen and been near Aslan, Nic would not freak out any of the friends of Narnia, since Aslan is wilder and more unpredictable than a son of Hades. Or as Frodo so eloquently put it, a servant of the Enemy would look fair and feel foul, while both Aslan and Nico look foul and feel fair. ;P 

9.What is the most underrated ship in your opinion? Uh . . . all of my noncanon ships? lol . . . though, right now, I’d say Jackunzel, especially now that the Jelsa hype has finally started to die down. Mericcup is still going strong, but Jackunzel needs some help. It’s not dead yet, not by a long shot, but it does need a little bit more life. Jack and Rapunzel are such barefooted sweethearts, exploring and enjoying life. And I’d go so far to say that Nico with Lucy is really underrated, not really because no one else has thought of it, but because of what Lucy can do for Nico. Yes, she is a healer, but she is a warrior as well, Not only will she help him heal, she can also help him fight his battles, carry his crosses with him. Nico needs someone who can not only ease him out of his shell, but will also shove him back in and take a blow or two for him. Someone who will encourage him, but show their weakness by needing him to encourage them too. With Lucy, the two are equals, and they would see it that way. I don’t see that with Will. Doctor’s orders? Really? I’m sorry , but when the first thing that comes out of your mouth when you see someone after a few days are words about yourself and them last, that’s not a good relationship. Love requires sacrifice, and Nico knows that all too well. 

OK, enough of my rambling . . . lol. Thanks for asking! Hope this was satisfactory! 

[itsakyo]

ayo AK, you know what you need to do.. rate the songs! ;P

As per request, I’m rating the songs by how much I like them rather than how /good/ they are because production wise, every song is clearly expensive, meaning well produced with the generous budget it takes to produce songs of this quality of sound.

Holiday 7.5/10♡The first thing that catches my attention is the bass and the accompanying decorative sounds. The decorative sounds are ‘pixelated’ like the electronic sounds in older games like Mario back when they were pixelated. It’s all very cute and retro-ish which I like. The bass is thick and has a depth that I appreciate especially when I listen to the song on my in-ears.Composition wise, it is a pretty standard song. The chord progression is safe and predictable and the song follows a pretty standard sequence. No surprises. It has just enough to keep it interesting with the break into rap and a later part that slows it down a bit before resuming the power-driving bass chorus, so that keeps it afloat.Having said that, it’s a pretty fun feel-good song that I would listen to in the morning when I’m feeling dead. Like an aural red bull energizer.

All Night 9.5/10 ♡ The opening is ear-catching to begin with. And the opening verse has a really nice melody, teasing to the ear. The song can be broken down into this form: intro-ABCDDEBCDDFC*DD-outroThe multi-segmented parts differentiate this song from others. It has something like 6 different features where the music style/pace changes and I like it a lot. The good thing is despite the many changes, the overall concept of the song is kept together well by the bass.The bass is really rich and thick here too. Also retro-ish like the 80s or 90s. But in the D-chorus parts, the bass is really synthesized like the kind you hear in the club in 2010s and that’s a cool contrast. And in the final D-chorus cycle, they added another layer of beats, doubling the time to boost the mood which is cool.The pitch bending is also really fun for my ears.The vocals are also pretty strong in this one. All the members have stepped up their game and it’s great to hear them pull off a song like that.Song wise, this is a lot more interesting. I would listen to this at night, and if it’s played at the club, I’d have a lot of fun dancing to it.

Girls Are Back 8/10 ♡ This song is so cool. From the get go, the music is chic and chill kind of chords. Really Western sounding like Holiday and All Night. Especially the chorus. It’s exactly the same kind of song an American artist like Bruno Mars would sing. A little jazzy, with the chic moves. The cool bass guitar lines. The vocal runs that Soshi members do.  The injection of rap parts is also enjoyable to me. It hypes the song a little more because the music at that point gets an awesome dramatic drum boost.I would listen to this while cruising along, or walking somewhere.

Fan 9/10 ♡ So Japanese anime. HAHAHAHA. I can totally see BoA doing this song back when she was promoting a lot in Japan XDI love the opening and the intense running bass in the background. The sound is full and there’s interesting detail in the electric guitar on the side. The warping is also interesting, it contrasts against the deep bass beat that consistently goes on throughout the song.IMO, the highlight of the song is really the chorus. It’s classic dramatic and stacked up chords in full colour with blocks and running notes and Taeyeon does some seriously cool vocal adlibs and high notes in here.

Only One 7/10 ♡ This song also gives me lots of Japan album vibes XD It’s an uptempo cheery song, feel good in general.As expected, the chorus is pleasant and the little bridge part is a nice touch especially with the key changes in there. Pretty cool.I also like the bass with everything else. So far, you can literally hear how expensive the songs are in terms of production value. Good money went into the arrangement, recording and post-production. A well polished song. But not the kind of song I would listen a lot to.

One Last Time 9.5/10 ♡ I LOVE THE PIANO THROUGHOUT THE SONG. This is a personal preference. I always find piano accompaniment really classic and it gives me feels. Perhaps cos I learnt the piano as a kid, so this sound is really familiar to me.I also love this particular set of chord progression. It’s not super new or unique or anything, there are plenty of Western songs written like that, but I personally love songs with this kind of groove and feel.Taeyeon’s high note and run down in the middle of the song really hits it good and the other high notes after that are really OH YEAH. Seohyun is impressive as usual and she’s really coming out more and more as albums/songs go by and it shows a lot in here. She’s doing a lot more vocally, and it’s GREAT.I would listen to this song anywhere, anytime for any occasion.

Sweet Talk 8.0/10 ♡ This song makes me think of expensive cars, expensive champagne and a really cool group of girls striding down the hall of an expensive building they own, with dancers dancing at the side, lots of wind blowing their hair in slow-mo and YES THEY HAVE TO BE WEARING POWER SUITS AND SHADES.I really love this sort of melody and chord progression set. Very chic, very cool, swag much.

Love Is Bitter 6.5/10 ♡ Broadway jazz complete with tap dancing, canes and sleek top hats and female tuxedos. Instrumentation is on point with the nice brass bringing out the jazz and broadway feel and the smooth jazz piano that comes out later which I appreciate.But it doesn’t really hit me where it hurts good. Just not my cuppa tae.

It’s You 6.5/10 ♡ It has the same kind of vibes as Only You. Similarities here and there. The verse is really quite ordinary. Fortunately, the chorus is better with the chords driving the melody forwards and upwards. The little bridge before the final chorus cycle is kinda cute but this song is overall kinda flat for me.

Light Up The Sky 8.5/10 ♡ This is also pretty Japanese to me. Like an OST for a romantic Japanese drama HAHA. I like the intro. It has the piano solo before big beats come in later and I love this sort of openings. There’s quite a lot of piano in the accompaniment overall too which I like.The chord progression is better in this song. It has more direction and the song changes pace just enough to keep it fresh. The chorus’ hook is really good too. Strong and sticks in your mind easily. It’s a good melody. There’s also a neat little slow down/pull back effect with the drum near the end which adds more impact to the song. Nice.I would listen to this song while looking at a starry sky - which is apt considering the title, Light Up The Sky.

Overall, this entire album has nice songs to listen to, but other than All Night which is musically more varied and interesting, there isn’t really anything groundbreaking (like IGAB groundbreaking). But it’s totally okay. Because this is SNSD’s current sound. I can see how the songs in this album will appeal more to people who have spent more than two decades on earth which is where the bulk of their fans are right now as well.

It’s interesting to see the kind of sound they want to define their 10th year and 6th album with. This is grown up SNSD. It’s driven, motivated, sophisticated, classy and mature. This is how SNSD is different from the young groups. This is a SNSD that knows who they are and are proud of it.

Just like fine wine, SNSD too gets better with age. 10/10 ♡

I played a few scales, hoping with some luck that the melody would work better than my unfinished lyrics.

I wanted the tune to sound dreamy and wondrous, like witnessing the first snow on a winter night. I wanted to feel the chill of the icy breeze on my hands, as I caressed the piano keys and let the whole apartment be filled with music. I wanted to feel the soft, warm embrace of her arms around my neck in that cable-knit sweater I got her that Christmas.

“Got.” Past tense.

A sudden pause paralyzes me, then a crash! as I slam my head and my elbows onto the keyboard. “Aishhhh, c’mon, Heo Young Saeng, focus!”

My phone rings. Grudgingly, I answer, rubbing my eyes in frustration. “Yeoboseyo? Ne, I’ve finished melody... The lyrics? Most of them.”

My manager flips out on the other line, causing my eye to twitch as I push the receiver farther away from ear.

“Ne, calm down, hyung-nim... I’ll send the chords and lyrics to Steven hyung, before I head to the airport. It’s going to go through several drafts anyway like every song we have creative freedom in.”

“Don’t give me that, Saengie... you know, if you didn’t want part in writing the ballad for the mini-album, you could’ve just said so. Save us your man-PMS, get your head outta the past, and get to work!”

I bit my lip so hard that I swear I would’ve bled to death.

“Oh... mianhe, Young Saengie. That was out of line. I know this is a difficult time of year for you, but we’ve gotta stay focused in order to make this comeback on time.”

“Araso, araso... I get it, hyung-nim.”

“Kyu Jong-ah is here, and we’re about to pick up Junnie, if you want to talk to the--”

“Aniyo, gwenchaneyo... I’ll meet you guys at the terminal, and I WILL have the main ballad done before then.”

“Ok, Young Saengie... just take care of yourself, ok, and get here safe please?”

“Ne...” 

Click! Phew... and I thought I was the one nagging like an eomma with the group.

I looked up at my journal at the sheet stand. Its bookmark fashioned with my old, cross earring that I was quite fond of back during debut days. I sighed, bowing my head slightly as if it was a silent prayer. You’ve got this, Young Saeng... your name doesn’t mean “Eternal life” for nothing. If you got through losing her, you can get through this.

At the tip of a hat, I became a composing machine. Every chord, every note, every word that were left unspoken... I let it all out on that page, all in that book, until the alarm of my phone blasted at me to get to the airport NOW.

In a panicked rush, I slid all my camera and power bank equipment on the kitchen counter, and the music sheets on the piano into my backpack. Jetting straight to the door but taking one last look at the apartment before I go, I sigh, “Aigoo~~ I’m usually not this messy. Hopefully, it’s not too much trouble for the housekeeper while I’m away.”

With that, I locked the door, dropped off the spare key to the front desk, and headed to Incheon with every intention not missing my flight.

Hongdae Station, 21:35pm 

Vanessa POV

“Aishhh, pigeonhae~~~ (I’m exhausted)” I uttered, as I rested my heated head on the cool glass window. “Finally got a seat on this packed train.” 

I should probably be sneaking a Korean audiobook or something right now, but after a day I had, I’ll use any spare minute to relax. It’s days like this that I wished my post-graduation life in Seoul was a romantic comedy... not a dramatic Korean drama.

Every night on the commute home from my grueling, housekeeping rounds for South Korea's elite, I find solace in my steampunk, kitty-ear headphones, blasting SS501 songs on my phone.

To my utter annoyance, my headphones are nowhere to be found. 

Just my luck. 

Emptying my suede satchel on my lap, a diary plops out of it and onto the train floor. I pick it up and examine the newfound artifact in my bag: worn, embossed leather, yellowing handmade paper, and customized embroidery of the initials "HYS" on the back cover.

Now, where did this come from?

I gasp, “NO... I’ve been shuffling my stuff around with me since lunch. I must’ve hit half a dozen houses today.”

I bang my head on the train window, cursing myself at how stupid I could be. There’s a client looking for this diary somewhere, and I’m bound to be branded as that “never hire a foreigner to clean your house ever again” stereotype that I’ve tried so hard to erase at first glance.

As I lower my head, fixing my groggy gaze onto my lap, the intricate phoenix emboss on the diary’s front cover tickles my grazing finger tips. The fading book spine begs me for a stroke, like it’s calling me to open it and discover it’s contents.

No, it’d be unethical to read a client’s personal property... but I threw “professional and moral etiquette” out the window when I accidentally packed it away into my bag.

“One look won’t hurt, right?” As soon as turned the diary on its right side, the end of a satin ribbon bookmark popped out with a medieval, silver cross pendent with a chain and mini-cross attached to it. It must’ve been an old earring or something, seeing at the ribbon was just double tied at the end to the cross’s jump ring. 

“Man, whoever owns this diary has gone through a lot in this lifetime,” I say, examining its exterior with archeological precision.

Since the bookmark fell out from its original place, I flipped the journal to its side, found a rounded dent one-fourth of the way of the pages, and started there. Let’s just say... I couldn’t put it down after that.

Young Saeng (Journal) POV

I can't remember a single song, that I've written, that wasn't about you. You were the lyrics to my melody, the treble to my crescendo, the keys to my every note.

"One day when it snowed Who used to hug me warmly I remember the beautiful you The memory of January"

All performances, no matter how great or  well-received, end at some point, but I still linger on that high note, hoping that time would kindly extend itself for you... for us... even if only for one moment.

"Woke up from the dream and called you But I realized you were not beside me any longer"

Music makes our burden light... or at least, this weight that you've left on me behind.

"I wanna go back to you To that day, to that moment For me at least once, at least your soul... The love you left behind"

Hmm...

Note to self:

Type and send this to Steven hyungnim

Call eomma before heading to the airport

Duplicate a spare key at the front desk for the housemaid.

Vanessa’s POV

From the rest of my subway trip, to the bus and even the short few minutes to walk to my apartment from the main street, the diary’s contents consumed me, overwhelmed with its deep philosophy and streams of thought. It was almost lyrical.

Before I knew it, I was already in my bed. My eyes heavy, but fluttering to stay awake as to not miss a single detail of this beautiful mind on the paper. Just before my body gave in to its exhaustion, I remember one more thought before shutting down: “YS, whoever you are, I hope your life is just as poetic and whimsical as the pages you’ve transcribed in this book.”

A/N: For once, that photo edit is my own. The gifs, Young Saeng and his original IG post? Not yet :P

To Cry

Chapter 12  Plans for New Heroes

Summary :  Plans are made to deal with Luka's knowledge of who Ladybug and Chat Noir are and another on call hero is decided.

This chapter can be found here on AO3 

To start at the beginning, chapter 1 is here on AO3 or here on tumblr

.....

“S-semi permanent heroes?” Marinette stuttered.

“Yes.” Master Fu sounded sure about his decision, “I suppose we could also say on call heroes. They will not come to every fight but if we leave the Snake miraculous with Viperion, he could protect himself if needed and when you need him to join in a battle, you will be able to text his civilian form from your yo-yo instead of having to come running to me.”

Marinette looked astounded but then looked up at a smiling Luka who nodded his head in agreement. “I’m willing to do that. I imagine that would save time, and that way I will have my own back up by having Sass at my side.”

Master Fu shockingly agreed, “I think that would be wise, plus you can also help Marinette or Chat Noir know about the status of their civilian sides if necessary, or fill in as needed since you know who they are.”

“F-Fill in?” Marinette stuttered. “What do you mean?”

“Well, you are getting older and I imagine that there will come a day when you are unable to be available at a certain time. Viperion and you could exchange Miraculous for a short period, or the same could be said of him and Chat Noir. Knowing both of your identities would help with that.”

“Ah, but Chat Noir does not know my identity Master.” Luka pointed out. “In fact, if he found out, it wouldn’t be hard even for him to figure out Marinette’s.”

“Hmm, that would be an issue, but it is possible to trade Miraculous without revealing yourselves. Or you could just borrow the Cat Miraculous as you wield the Snake Miraculous, they are compatible and you can wield them both at once when there is a dire need.”

“Really?” Marinette asked.

“Yes, returning it would be easy, or you could just leave the ring somewhere only Chat Noir would find it. All you would need is a meeting point and a time.”

“It still sounds risky.” Marinette pointed out.

“I agree!” Tikki quickly twittered, “but, I think Master Fu has a point. Overall, it would strengthen our position, so it could be worth the risk.”

“I think it is.” Master Fu stated, “Hawkmoth has been getting more daring and he calls upon the Peacock when he is about to lose. Having a few of the other Miraculous and their holders being available at a moment’s notice would only help us.”

“Yes Master.” Marinette reluctantly agreed. “Who else are you considering? We can’t use the Dragon or the Bee.”

“Ah, but that is where you are wrong my young Ladybug.” Master Fu sounded amused. “Since they wouldn’t have to wait for the miraculous every time, you could choose to place their Miraculous with them, with the strict instructions to only come when called upon and to hide their identities no matter what.”

“Hmm, I think that the uh, Dragon, would have trouble keeping that secret from her p-parents, they watch her closer than A-Adrien’s,” She stumbled over his name and Luka patted her shoulder to comfort her, then gave her shoulder a squeeze. She nodded at him appreciatively. “A-as I was saying, she’s watched closer than his bodyguard watches him.”

“Then the Dragon is out. What about the others?”

“Pegasus is trustworthy.” Marinette concluded, “no one would suspect him and he, he’s been avoiding the situation at school for the most part. I think I’d be willing to give him the opportunity.”

“Is this about Lila?” Luka asked.

“Yeah.” Marinette looked sad, knowing that she practically pointed toward where he could find Max.

“Hmm, I’ve been wondering about her. Juleka and Rose have told me so many unbelievable stories about her, sometimes they don’t seem to believe them themselves, but well, I can’t be sure.” Luka shrugged.

“Yeah, I’ve been having trouble trusting anyone close to Lila lately.” Marinette muttered as she hugged herself. “Even Nino and Alya, they invite her to everything and well, we don’t get along since Lila is always lying and somehow manages to make me look bad most of the time, which is why we don’t get along.”

“I see.” Master Fu observed.

Luka hugged her briefly, “hey, I’m sure that you have your reasons to not like her. You can tell me more about later if you feel like it.”

“Thank you, Luka.” Marinette whispered.

Master Fu cleared his throat, “well, what about Miss Bourgeois then? I’ve noticed that she has been doing better lately and she is a very strong minded individual, she seems to be someone that Hawkmoth would have difficulty controlling.”

Marinette gave his turtle image on her phone a look of confusion, “but, everyone knows that she’s Queen Bee.”

“I’m sure that we can arrange something.” Master Fu almost sounded like he was chuckling. “It is possible for the suit to be changed, she could use a new name and be given instructions about when and how she could use the Miraculous.”

“I’m not sure if I’m ready for that yet Master.” Marinette told him worriedly. “She can be a bit of a loose cannon. Same for the guy you gave the Monkey Miraculous too, he likes Lila too much and he’s a bit, well, over the top.”

“Very well, think about your options then. It would be a pity to have to find new holders if things cannot be settled between you and the current weilders because of one girl.”

“I know Master, I’m trying to figure out what I can do about all of that.”

Luka smiled at her, knowing that she was trying to come up with a solution.

“Very good Marinette. Now, we have a little time now that Viperion is on the bench as you would say, and the next time you visit me I will give you the Horse Miraculous to give to Pegasus.”

“Sure Master.” Marinette agreed reluctantly, “what should I tell Chat Noir?”

“Your partner may not like it, but I believe that you should still keep your identities safe from each other as long as you can. This way if one of you is compromised, the other will be able to continue the fight. Tell him about the plan to use Viperion or Pegasus as back-up, he should be given a way to contact them as well.”

“I guess I could get a burner phone to keep my identity from him that way,” Luka suggested before he cleared his throat, “although I’m afraid that I don’t agree with that Master. Chat Noir seems to be the kind of person that expects honesty, he doesn’t seem to read between the lines well and if Ladybug chooses to not share identities with him until there is an accidental reveal of some kind with him or without a solid deadline, it would hurt him.” Then he looked meaningfully at Marinette, “you could be hurt too.”

“Psfft,” Marinette blew a raspberry at him and brushed it off. “No matter who he is, he’ll always be my Kitty.”

“I hope you’ll remember that if you ever have an issue with each other, it’s just, umm,” he tapped his chin thoughtfully before asking, “what if he could be something more?” Luka asked her with a sad look in his eye, “I mean, Chat Noir does seem to like you, maybe even love you, as Ladybug I mean.”

Marinette gave a small laugh and waved the idea off, “oh, I think that ship has sailed. Whoever he is, he doesn’t like the Marinette me that way. My own Papa was akumatized when he thought that I, Marinette me I mean, had a crush on Chat and then he came over and told us that he was in love with Ladybug.”

“I was unaware of this.” Master Fu commented.

“Me neither.” Luka added.

“It wasn’t one of my shining moments, he saw Marinette me right after I transformed after a fight and then he mentioned how he saw me a lot after Ladybug left. Thinking that he was about to figure out my identity I… I, uh, kind of told a fib and told him that I loved him.” She tapped her fingers together nervously and avoided Luka’s startled gaze.

“I did it to protect my identity, but then my Papa showed up, overheard me and invited Chat Noir over for brunch the next day.” She took a breath and she continued with, “he came over with a pink rose, ate with us as my Papa wouldn’t let him speak up to say what he came to say, that I was a an awesome girl and all, but he was in love with Ladybug. No matter how many times Ladybug rejects him, he’s still waiting for her.”

Marinette frowned slightly as she rolled her eyes, “I mean, Marinette is a big part of me and he can’t just have Ladybug, which is me, just a part of me. I may be Ladybug, but Ladybug isn’t Marinette. There is more to Marinette than just Ladybug and you’d think that if he really liked me, all of me, then he’d seem just a little bit interested in Marinette and well, that’s just not, well, that’s not how it is.”

She shrugged, “I do love him, but just like a close friend, maybe like the annoying brother I never had. It’s not a romantic love at all, I was too b-blinded by A-Adrien for that at first and now that I know he only loves Ladybug? Well, that’s that.”

“Wow Marinette, that’s…” Luka didn’t seem to know what to say.

“Understandable.” Master Fu finished for him.

“Huh?” Marinette asked.

“Chat Noir cares so much about Ladybug, he cannot allow himself to see any other girls like that.” Master Fu explained. “It’s the same as you felt about a certain someone when all of this began.”

“Oh, it’s a… a blind love then.” She sighed, “but it’s not really. I mean, there must be something about Marinette that he doesn’t like to think about her in that way. Wouldn’t the Ladybug part of me be obvious to someone that really cared about me?” She looked up at Luka meaningfully with wet eyes and he pulled her close again to comfort her silently as she went on, “I mean, it’s not obvious though, not to Chat or anyone else anyway besides… besides Luka.”

“Is that how you found out?” Master Fu asked.

“I-I care a great deal about Marinette Sir.” Luka admitted bashfully, “when I’m around her I hear her heart song, her melody. I’ve been privileged to get to know it better lately as she’s hugn out and worked with my band and that’s probably why when I met Ladybug, her song cried out to me as much as Marinette’s. It was the same symphony.”

“Ah.” Master Fu muttered, “so you are particularly observant.”

“Only in some cases.” Luka answered bashfully, giving Marinette a small grin.

She blushed as she smiled back at him, understanding that he meant when it came to her.

Marinette looked away, “anyway, back to the question, would I ever want to be with Chat Noir? Not that it’s anybody’s business, but it wouldn’t work out, knowing he doesn’t like Marinette me that way, yeah, it wouldn’t work with him at all, knowing how he really feels about Marinette me. Enough to come and say that I’m awesome, but since I’m not Ladybug, I’m not worth his time.”

Luka flinched at that, “he probably didn’t mean it that way.”

She shrugged, “well still, he will probably agree with me when he finds out my identity. He’ll probably move on to some rich heiress like Kagami, he seemed to like her, not that he said anything when he took her home after she was de-akumatized after Oni-chan, but I could read between the lines.”

“It sounds like someone is a little jealous.” Luka smirked a little, finding it funny.

“I was just surprised that he’d rather take care of her before our usual ‘pound it’ after the battle, they’re practically a tradition!”

“Some traditions a meant to be broken Ladybug.” Master Fu commented, “do not hold it against Chat Noir for one forgotten fist bump.”

“I’m not.” She pouted a little as Luka chuckled.

“You so are.” Luka commented.

“Who asked you?” She asked defensively and Luka held up his hands, backing off from the topic and a little bit from her, to give her her space.

She shook her head as she looked up at Luka at the end of her rant, “besides, why would you ask something like that? I mean, why would I want to ‘be’ with Chat Noir someday? That’s just well, I don’t know what to call it, unless you know something I don’t’?” She looked up at Luka imploringly as he leaned back as he bit his lips, unable to meet her eyes and not knowing what to say.

Master Fu came to Luka’s rescue as he cleared his throat and answered, “no matter what Chat Noir wishes, this decision to keep your identities secret from one another is a security measure to protect Paris. Unless there is an accidental reveal, or until Hawkmoth is defeated or you give up your Miraculous by retiring, that is the way that it must be.”

Not to be deterred, Marinette asked again, “Luka? I still want to know, why did you ask that?”

Luka gave a small frown and looked away from her, as he admitted, “well, like I said, somehow last night I figured out who he is and uh, Chat Noir is a good-looking guy, he wasn’t lying about that.”

“I don’t just fall for a pretty face, no matter how it may seem that way.” She gave him a small nudge.

Luka then smirked at Marinette who only rolled her eyes as he went on, “besides, I can’t help but notice that you do seem close to him as Chat Noir, and I think that he’d want someone to object for him about this decision during this discussion.”

“That’s very thoughtful of you.” Tikki told him, “but it’s not your responsibility to be Chat Noir’s caretaker.”

“What do you mean Tikki?” Marinette asked. “I mean, you both should know that I wouldn’t just date anyone just because of their looks.”

“I just mean that, uh, they did a lot of talking last night and while Viperion is very good about discussing things and calming people down, he almost revealed you several times.” Tikki huffed as she tried to change the subject, she wasn’t the best person to talk about Adrien at the moment after all. “Thankfully Chat Noir is a bit focused on you as Ladybug and as such he can’t see you as Marinette, after barely a touch of Miraculous magic that is.”

Luka shook his head, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say too much. He’s stubborn and hard to talk to, so I’m sorry about that Marinette, about possibly saying too much. Chat Noir is many things, but he’s not good at reading people and that was purely by accident,” he looked at her kwami, “Tikki was it? I’m sorry if I did anything wrong, I’m new to this.”

Tikki giggled and held out her little paw, “I understand, it’s good to meet you Viperion.”

Luka reached out and shook her paw gently, “good to meet you too, oh and you too Master, I’m Luka by the way.”

“I know. Marinette told me who she was going to entrust the Snake Miraculous to after all.” Master Fu replied, “now, is that all? I’m afraid my co-worker’s will be looking for me soon.”

“Yes, Master. Thank you!” Marinette replied.

“Yes, thank you Master.” Both Tikki and Luka said at the same time, they looked at each other and giggled lightly.

“You’re welcome, and please think about what we discussed and feel better Marinette.”

“I will!”

“Then Goodbye.” At which Master Fu hung up the phone.

Jon ALi Presents: The Top 50 Albums of 2017!

My beautiful music lovers: We have (almost) reached the end of 2017!

This year has been a true test to the human psychique with the mess that is our current Presidential reality – but, luckily, in the midst of life’s many expected ups and downs this year, there was (thankfully) a ton of music to help distract, heal and lift us up.

First up, I’m counting down my Top 50 Albums of the Year! As per usual, this list is usually my favorite because its much easier to rank my love for an album based on if I can get through the whole thing from start to finish without banging my head against a wall (repeatedly). WITH THAT SAID: That doesn’t necessarily mean I find album #29 any more or less tolerable than the ones before or after it so please save your trolling for someone who actually cares. I love music. You love music. We love music!

K, without further ado, here’s the list:

50. Terror Jr – Bop City 2: TerroRising 49. Oliver – Full Circle 48. Erik Hassle – Innocence Lost 47. Nelly Furtado – The Ride 46. Hey Violet – From the Outside 45. Betty Who – The Valley 44. Loreen – Ride 43. Paloma Faith – The Architect 42. Shakira – El Dorado 41. Snoh Aalegra – Feels 40. Perfrume Genius – No Shape 39. Michelle Branch – Hopeless Romantic 38. N.E.R.D – NO ONE EVER REALLY DIES 37. Lights – Skin&Earth 36. Paramore – After Laughter 35. Miley Cyrus – Younger Now 34. Niia – I 33. Bleachers – Gone Now 32. Haim – Something to Tell You 31. Katy Perry – Witness 30. Tyler, the Creator – Flower Boy 29. Superfruit – Future Friends 28. Zara Larsson – So Good 27. Cashmere Cat – 9 26. Kelly Clarkson – Meaning of Life 25. P!nk – Beautiful Trauma 24. St. Vincent – Masseduction 23. The xx – I See You 22. Jhené Aiko – Trip 21. Halsey – hopeless fountain kingdom 20. Taylor Swift – Reputation 19.

Tove Lo – BLUE LIPS (Lady Wood Phase II) 12. Khalid – American Teen 11. Allie X – CollXtion II

10. Kehlani – SweetSexySavage: After years years of dropping mixtapes and collaborations, Kehlani finally properly broke out in 2017 with her full-length major label debut LP, SweetSexySavage – an appropriately direct nod to TLC‘s CrazySexyCool. It’s a sleek, self-assured, and polished body of work from an artist that took her time to perfect her sound and get it just right. Though she proudly wears her influences — Aaliyah, Brandy, and any number of Y2K era of R&B belters — on her sleeve she never once sounds like an imitator or cliché. Kehlani‘s many strengths as a songwriter and singer outweigh any possible charges of imitation, and her willingness to apply subtlety, make unapologetic choices, and simply have fun is what makes her a true star. For an album released at the very top of the year, it’s had undeniable longevity, both in the R&B and Pop world. The crossover queen we deserve in 2017. Highlights: “Keep On,” “Distraction,” “CRZY,” “Advice,” “Get Like,” “In My Feelings,” and “I Wanna Be.”

9. Lana Del Rey – Lust for Life: Five albums deep, Lana Del Rey is very aware of the fact that her signature sleepy sound isn’t necessarily everyone’s cup of tea, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to stop making the music her loyal fanbase has grown to love. Compared to her other albums, especially its drowsy 2015 predecessor Honeymoon, Lust for Life is positively sunny in tone, and certainly more upbeat in tempo. Lana may sing about a “Summer Bummer” and being “In My Feelings” but the songs aren’t inline with hazy unforgotten daydreams; they shimmer, offering a confident bit of seduction for chill nights in with your bae. Lana keeps this delicate balance throughout the lengthy Lust for Life (at 71 minutes, this is an album as much as it’s a playlist, designed to be played on loop as “vibe” music), never quite committing to either distress or euphoria but rather finding an effortless place somewhere in-between the two. That said, Lana does lean slightly more towards ecstasy on Lust for Life, bathing comfortably in her slow rhythms and luxurious surfaces. She manages to sustain this mood over the course of Lust for Life‘s 16 songs, every one of which is a genuine variation of her adored signature sound. Highlights: “Love,” “Lust for Life” (feat. The Weeknd), “Cherry,” “Groupie Love” (feat. A$AP Rocky), and “Get Free.”

8. Kendirck Lamar – DAMN.: On DAMN. Kendrick Lamar proved you can actually take a more “mainstream” approach while maintaining your musical excellence. Although its definitely sonically less cohesive than to his predecessors (To Pimp a Butterfly and good kid, m.A.A.d city); the lyrics are just as strong and impactful and the music is just as vibrant and exciting. In fact, Kendrick‘s reached a whole new level of self-awareness on DAMN., he’s better than ever. In my honest opinion, Kendrick‘s been on a non-stop winning streak, and his closest competitors are still miles away and this album it’s just another proof of his genius. Highlights: “HUMBLE.,” “DNA.,” “LOYALTY.” (feat. Rihanna) and “LOVE.” (feat. Zacari).

7. Miguel – War & Leisure: Every year, thre’s one artist drops an absolutely incredible album at the tail end of the year that makes music writers everywhere wish they would’ve waited on publishing their year-end lists. This year, that artist is Miguel. 2012’s Kaleidoscope Dream and 2015’s Wildheart, saw this R&B crooner master the early versatility he displayed on his debut All I Want Is You, showcasing a playful-yet-wise mix of pop, funk and soul that certified him a true star. War & Leisure is a more ambitious, bold and confident move: a non-stop joy ride that doubles as a master class in futurist hypersexual R&B. He never fails to impress and expand within himself. Highlights: “Sky Walker” (feat. Travis Scott), “Banana Clip,” “Told You So,” “Caramelo Duro” (feat. Kali Uchis), “Come Through and Chill” and “Now.”

6. Jessie Ware – Glasshouse: Like most of Jessie‘s stellar back catalog, her third studio LP Glasshouse revolves around her signature lyrical themes: Sadness, isolation, lust and most importantly, love. But Glasshouse strives as a much bigger and mature deal than anything she’s done before, catering mostly to her husband, Sam Burrows, and the arrival of their first child. Jessie‘s has always had the effortless ability to wrap powerful emotions in irresistible melodies but here she channels that skill into soaring new heights. And with additional production credits from the likes of Kid Harpoon, Starsmith, Happy Perez, Benny Blanco, Cashmere Cat, Julia Michaels and Ed Sheeran, there was already little doubt that Jessie would come through strong. But, make no mistake: It was Jessie‘s very own signature sensual stylings that made this record a win from start to finish. Forever my queen. Highlights: “Midnight,” “Stay Awake, Wait For Me,” “Alone,” “Selfish Love,” “Hearts” and “Sam.”

5. Mura Masa – Mura Masa: In a year when mainstream radio became increasingly defined by island-like musical trends, the first full-length by Guernsey-born DJ-producer Mura Masa (aka Alex Crossan) was refreshing for the way it leaned proudly outward, bringing slinky disco, shimmering electro-pop, garage house, Hip-hop and throwback R&B together in the name of finding musical transcendence. Mura Masa‘s unlimited playfulness and genre-bending production skills — not to mention the help from Bonzai, A$AP Rocky, Charli XCX, Desiigner, Nao, Tom Tripp and Christine and the Queens — show that there’s still uncharted territory left in the land of UK dance-pop, and that thankfully someone like the young and talented Mura Masa is more than willing to put in all his time in order to find it. Highlights: “Love$ick” (feat. A$AP Rocky), “1 Night” (feat. Charli XCX), “What If I Go?,” “Firefly” (feat. Nao) and “Second 2 None” (feat. Christine and the Queens).

4. Dua Lipa – Dua Lipa: Pop music needed some serious saving in 2017. Weighted down by tired-less, island-lite radio trends, EDM beat drops (thanks a lot, The Chainsmokers) and One Direction members going solo, the pop music landscape was missing a dose of originality. Enter Dua Lipa, aka Jesus Christ. Kicking off her rise with a slew of anthem-ready singles “Be The One,” “Hotter Than Hell” and “Blow Your Mind (Mwah),” the young and versatile beauty reminded us all that, pop at its finest, all comes down to melody. While it took a lot more time than it should’ve, Dua finally blessed us with her highly anticipated self-titled debut in 2017. And the record was worth the wait: Each song bursts with huge choruses, from the truly stunning opener “Genesis” to the unstoppable force that is “New Rules,” which is finally giving her the visibility she deserves. As with Adele, Ellie Goulding, Charli XCX, Marina And The Diamonds, and so many English queens before her, Dua‘s got the undeniable gift. Dua for President! Highlights: “Genesis,” “Lost In Your Light” (feat. Miguel), “Hotter Than Hell,” “Be The One,” “IDGAF,” “Blow Your Mind (Mwah),” “New Rules” and “Homesick.”

3. Kelela – Take Me Apart: Where 2017 mostly failed in delivering huge pop records, it made up in supplying us with stellar R&B. When Kelela arrived on the scene in 2015 with her unique brand of futuristic-yet-nostoglic-R&B-electronica, we already knew her debut record would be something special. And that it most certainly is: Take Me Apart‘s title track is R&B at its most cosmic and forward-thinking, “Better” is post-breakup relatable gold, and the nostalgic Aaliyah-sounding greatness that is “LMK” is the stuff of legend status. While she might not have made the biggest noise this year, she did deliver artistry at its finest. Kelela‘s got plenty of talent up her slick sleeve and this here is just the beginning of a long career. Take notice! Highlights: “Frontline,” “Take Me Apart,” “Better,” “LMK,” “Blue Light” and “Turn To Dust.”

2. Lorde – Melodrama: Lorde delivered one the best records of the year in 2013 with her debut Pure Heroine. In the time since, she’s become a true superstar all while going through her very first real breakup. Her long-awaited sophomore album Melodrama documents the time spent between her stardom and breakup: It is a honest, sometimes dark and extremely liberating body of work, in which Lorde delivers some of her strongest, tightest and certainly most teary-eyed music to date. In the few years since her debut, Lorde‘s improved substantially upon her melody-making, resulting in massive heartbreak and youth anthems like “Sober,” “Homemade Dynamite” “Perfect Places” and “Green Light,” which is absolutely the year’s most overlooked single. Haunting, lonely and utterly empowering the whole way through. Highlights: “Green Light,” “Sober,” “Homemade Dynamite,” “Liability,” “Supercut” and “Perfect Places.”

1. SZA – CTRL: No other album quite did it for me other than the long-delayed debut from Solána Imani Rowe. SZA‘s CTRL is a straight-up, cohesive masterpiece from beginning to end about a girl navigating life in her “20 Something”‘s (see what I did there?) — dating, falling in love, dealing with fuck boys, self-doubt, anxiety, self-acceptance, growing up and much more. Her full-bodied voice floats over each intricate production effortlessly as she spits her unapologetically honest and relatable lyrics. “The Weekend” is pure genius; “Love Galore” is just as addictive; and “Drew Barrymore,” “Prom” and “20 Something” prove that SZA is not one of those alternative R&B artists with just one or two tricks up her sleeve. To put it simply, SZA is the voice of a generation. GIVE HER ALL THE AWARDS! Highlights: ALL OF IT.

Honorable Mentions: Niall Horan – Flicker, Shania Twain – NOW, Fergie – Double Dutchess, Fifth Harmony – Fifth Harmony, Galantis – The Aviary, Kelsea Ballerini – Unapologetically, The Killers – Wonderful Wonderful, Marc E. Bassy – Gossip Columns, Maroon 5 – Red Pill Blues, Harry Styles – Harry Styles, Beth Ditto – Fake Sugar and Sam Smith – The Thrill Of It All.
